Remember the joke that goes: What do you call a one-eyed dinosaur? A do-you-think-he-saurus. Unfortunately for 14 sozzled students, a sharp-eyed policeman did as they tried to make off with a model dinosaur.
The students, out celebrating the end of their course, spied a museum's 6.1m (20ft) long, 3.5m (10ft) high triceratops model and hauled it over some iron railings intent on depositing it on a roundabout.
But, half way down the road, the officer spotted them and ordered them to take it back.
'He caught 14 of us in the High Street at about 2.30am – we'd managed to get it half way up there,' said student Steve Fry.
'We were really sorry for causing any hassle.' Insp Les Fry, of Dorchester Police, said the pranksters had apologised to the town's Dinosaur Museum.
