With just two weeks before Christmas, police have launched a search for a reindeer believed to be on the loose in Bromley in south east London.

Bromley police tweeted: "In what has to be the most festive call of the season so far, we currently have a unit en route to reports of a reindeer running round the streets of Downe.

They added that the national police air service in the south east has been alerted, in case the reindeer starts flying.

"We've made @NPASSouthEast aware in case he takes flight #1520SN."

It remains unclear from where and how the reindeer escaped.

Downe is a village in the south east London borough of Bromley.
