Watch: Shoplifter rides off with £800 orangutan statue

A man who was caught on CCTV cycling away with a stolen orangutan statue balanced across his handlebars has been jailed.

Derek Lundgren, of New Road, Sawston, took the statue, valued at just under £800, from Scotsdales Garden Centre in Horningsea on 7 September, Cambridgeshire Police said.

Footage showed the 61-year-old leaving the store without paying, before jumping on his bike and placing the giant primate model on his lap.

He was jailed for one year and 11 months at Ipswich Magistrates' Court on Monday, after admitting theft from a shop and breaching three suspended sentences.
