A raccoon that broke into a Virginia store and joyfully drank its way through the liquor aisle is now suspected of a wider crime spree, officials say.
A Hanover animal control officer suspects the stripe-tailed mammal also broke into a nearby karate studio and then raided the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for snacks.
“Supposedly, this is the third break-in he’s had,” said Officer Samantha Martin.
Ms Martin says it’s only a matter of time before the masked bandit strikes the shopping centre again.
FYI - there are tshirts and hoodies available, but only for another 41 17 hrs.



Autumn is their favorite time of year. All that fruit fermenting on the ground after falling from the trees is sweet nectar to them.
Supposed to be part of the reason that yellow jackets are such assholes in the autumn.
There was that time a moose got so drunk it got stuck in a tree.
The college I went to had crabapple trees planted around campus, in the fall I enjoyed watching the squirrels eat the fermented fruit and stumble around drunk.
