Summary: When responding to a report of “suspicious activity,” police in Newport, Oregon find four adorable raccoons that broke into a local art gallery.
According to KPTV, police in the small town of Newport, Oregon got a call after midnight reporting “suspicious activity” at a local art gallery. When they entered the business, however, officers discovered the cause of the ruckus – four adorable raccoons.
The Newport Police Department posted a photo of the “masked bandits” on Facebook. “The suspects,” the post said, “known only by their street names of ‘Home Dog’, ‘Da Nails’, ‘Squeaky Feets’, and ‘2-Toes Todd’, attempted to elude officers on scene. After a brief scuffle, all suspects were captured without further incident or injuries.
‘Squeaky Feets’ told officers they had no intention of taking anything from the gallery; they were only trying to straighten a few pieces of art on the wall. Tell it to the judge, ‘Feets’. Tell it to the judge.”
Someone in the Newport Police Department has a sense of humor – although how can you not laugh at these particularly insidious criminals?
