POPULAR Isle of Wight attraction Amazon World has confirmed a second runaway raccoon has been caught, while the search continues for the final two.

The news follows yesterday’s (Friday) announcement that four raccoons taken on by the zoo park around three weeks ago had escaped from their enclosure overnight.

At around 11am last night, the first of the runaways was caught and placed back in an enclosure.

Now, the Newchurch site has two accounted for.
