Stolen raptor mascot recovered in Langford

A prehistoric-themed liquor store in Langford has been reunited with its stolen raptor mascot after a two-month absence, thanks to an anonymous tip and swift action by local law enforcement.

The West Shore RCMP successfully recovered the replica dinosaur, which had been taken from outside Liquor Planet on Millstream Road, British Columbia’s largest privately-owned liquor retailer. The store, known for its extensive collection of prehistoric replicas, had not immediately noticed the theft of the chained outdoor display.
