A man who claimed a tarantula was loose in a supermarket says it's now been found.
Simon Challenor took to Facebook to claim his cousin's spider had escaped its cage - and that she thought it might be loose in the Lake Road store.
Although he said management had been informed, Tesco staff claimed they knew nothing of the missing arachnid.
However, Simon now says the spider had been safely found.
Even police picked up on the social media post, with Tweetbeat allaying fears on Twitter.
