TWO landmark dinosaur sculptures which were the focal point of a Bradford diner have been wrecked in a mystery attack.
A five feet tall fibreglass model of a Velociraptor was ripped from its plinth in the beer garden of Harry's Carvery on Whitehall Road, Wyke, early on Saturday.
Police became aware because the thieves caused disruption to traffic as they ran off with the model at around 7.30am.
Its feet had been left attached to the plinth and later in the day, the remains of the model's head were found smashed nearby.
Earlier, a nine foot section of a 17 feet tall Velociraptor 's was also snapped off and stolen from the same location and police are now seeking witnesses.
Sergeant Garry Shelton, from the Spen and Batley Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "It's believed the same suspects were also responsible for stealing the tail of a larger 17ft Velociraptor.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Spen and Batley Neighbourhood Policing Team via: 101 and by quoting crime reference number: 13140492990.
