WATCH: After being stolen Monday night, Vancouver Police quickly solved the mystery of the missing Harlem Globetrotters mascot. Nadia Stewart is on the trail.
VANCOUVER – The Harlem Globetrotters’ 10-foot inflatable mascot was stolen from the team’s bus overnight, before being recovered by police.
Named ‘Big G’, the mascot is a fixture at Globetrotters shows and even has its own Facebook page.
Vancouver Police say Big G was stolen from the Globetrotters’ tour bus on Monday night. Around 4 p.m., the deflated mascot was tucked in his case in the luggage compartment of the team’s tour bus, which was parked at West Hastings and Seymour Street.
When the team returned to the bus early Tuesday morning, they discovered that Big G, his battery pack and the team’s sound mixer had been stolen.
That night VPD officers were in a East Vancouver apartment recovering a stolen computer. While in the apartment, they found a number of other items that appeared to be stolen – including Big G.
