POLICE are hunting the ringleaders of a daring theft of a circus pony this morning.
Miniature pony Thunder was stolen around 1am from Webers Circus, which is in a park across from Newcastle Showground.
A member of the public raised the alarm after seeing the pony being lifted onto the back of a utility.
Shortly after, police drove past a utility which had a large tarpaulin over its tray.
They lost sight of it but later located it behind Hamilton North Bowling Club.
The pony was still under the tarpaulin and uninjured.
It has been returned to the circus.
