An ATM user outside a Redwood City, California, bank noticed that there were things going on inside the closed lobby. Two young raccoons were trapped inside, apparently after climbing through the air ducts to get into the bank. Bank managers and staff from the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA went inside and chased the critters around for ten minutes before driving them outside.
“It’s not every day an animal organisation gets called to deal with a bank break-in, but since the bank robbers were masked bandits of the wildlife kind, we were indeed the appropriate responders,” Peninsula Humane Society and SPCA communications manager, Buffy Martin Tarbox, told the ABC.
The raccoons left behind a path of destruction, but no funds were missing. Read the news report at The Guardian. -via Metafilter
