Another giant rhino is damaged in Exeter

Another of Exeter's rhino models has had to be sent back to Paignton Zoo for repairs, after being knocked from its plinth by late-night revellers.

Police were called out at 3.15am on Tuesday to reports of damage to the sculpture outside Exeter's Central Station.


They saw that the rhino had been dislodged and knocked over and some people were running away from the scene.


It's thought they may have been trying to remove the rhino and take it away as a trophy.


Many of the models have fallen victim to vandalism and a spokesman for the zoo says this latest incident is disappointing.
