A thief on an electric bike has been recorded on CCTV stealing a giant Christmas Nutcracker soldier statue from outside an Edinburgh cocktail bar.
The person, who appears to be male and wearing a hood and a mask, puts the 8ft soldier, which cost £900, horizontally across his lap and rides off.
The incident, which happened at Copper Blossom at the corner of George Street and North Castle Street at 22:10 on Monday, has been reported to police.
Manager Paul Paxton told BBC Scotland he was “shocked” at the brazen theft, which took place while people were walking past.
