An iguana has been returned to its home at a reptile park after a burglary in which the offender "slithered" away with two reptiles.
The pair were stolen on 25 March from the Ti Point Reptile Park in Wellsford.
"Since then the 17-year-old stolen leopard tortoise has been returned and now his eight-year-old iguana friend joins him back at the park," Sergeant Dan McDermott said.

"Police have received a number of calls from the public and are following positive lines of enquiry to locate the animal thieve/s."
The incident was distressing for the reptiles and their owners, McDermott said.
Police say anyone with information about who stole the iguana and tortoise can contact police on 105 and quote file 240320/8108.
