Police have joined the hunt for a giant Easter egg which has gone missing after it was placed in a city centre for a charity fundraising event.

The 2ft-high fibreglass egg is one of more than 100 which were hidden across Glasgow by the charity Action for Children for its Big Egg Hunt.

The eggs feature some of the UK's best-loved children's characters such as Moshi Monsters, Peppa Pig and SpongeBob SquarePants, as well as unique designs by artists.
