Police warn public after two 'potentially dangerous' Raccoon dogs escape from captivity

Police are warning residents in a village to be on their guard after two captive Raccoon dogs escaped their enclosure.

They went missing from an enclosure in Big Lane, Clarborough, near Retford, at around 6am on Tuesday, May 28.

The animals, which are described as being the same size of a medium - to small-sized dog, are potentially dangerous if approached as they are not domesticated.

Raccoon dogs are indigenous to East Asia.

Nottinghamshire Police are advising anyone who sees the animals to report any sightings by calling 999.
