A pink dinosaur statue that was taken from its place on Somerset Street last week was returned in the middle of the night, the local BIA says.
The statue, part of a pair, was taken early Friday according to surveillance footage shared by the Ottawa Chinatown BIA over the weekend. Three women were seen in the video climbing on the statue and carrying it away at 3:24 a.m. according to the video's timestamp.
A surveillance picture shows three people dressed in black and covering their faces near the statue that was placed back with its green partner. "We will update the public on the progress of this case as soon as we hear from Ottawa police, who's been provided unverified information of the three individuals for further investigation," the BIA said.
