Vancouver police are searching for Big G, the Harlem Globetrotters' three-metre inflatable mascot, which was stolen from their tour bus on Monday night.

Police say at 4 p.m., Big G was in a case in the luggage compartment of the team's tour bus, parked at West Hastings and Seymour Street.

When the team returned to the bus early Tuesday morning, they discovered that Big G, his battery pack and the teams' sound mixer had been stolen.

Anyone who knows the whereabouts of Big G is asked to call police (604) 717-3321 or Crime Stoppers.

The Harlem Globetrotters are in Vancouver as part of their 2015 world tour. They are scheduled to perform tonight at the Pacific Coliseum.
