Bizarre moment ‘furry felon’ burgles a launderette dressed in a bunny onesie

Police in America have launched a hunt for one very bad bunny.

CCTV footage from the Winners Wash Laundromat in Quincy, Illinois left owners and authorities baffled.

The clip shows a thief in a full bunny suit going through drawers and placing items in a rucksack.

The local police department has launched an appeal to the public to help identify the ‘furry felon’.

Quincy Police Department posted on social media: ‘File this one under, “You can’t make this stuff up.”‘

‘In the early morning hours of July 6, an individual dressed in a bunny suit broke into the Winners Wash Laundromat at 2338 Spring.

‘Officer Holtman is investigating this burglary and would like your help identifying this furry felon.

‘If you know the individual in this video please call the Quincy Police Department at 217-228-4470, or Quincy Regional Crimestoppers at 217-228-4474.’

Bizarrely, onesies have also been used by thieves – to varying degrees of success – a number of times here in the UK.

In 2018, Mark Winslow stole an Asda delivery van while wearing a balaclava and a black one-piece embellished with glow-in-the-dark stars in November.

However when he fled and sped off, leading police on a chase, his onesie was so bright it was spotted by a police helicopter.

And in 2014, a thief donned a Homer Simpson onesie to rob a store in Derbyshire.
