The masked bandit making free with a Virginia liquor store’s booze has been revealed as a serial offender.
The crime spree was first revealed last month, when liquor store employees in Ashland, Virginia, said that pilfering had targeted several shelves, and the offender eventually passed out in a store bathroom.
The offender was a raccoon, as noted by The New York Times.

An animal control officer responded and took the animal to a shelter.
Chief Jeff Parker of Hanover County Animal Protection and Shelter said that after about an hour and a half in custody, the animal woke up and appeared no worse for wear.
