Police attempt to ketchup to four-legged hot dog thief

This thief would not be outfoxed.

Police in Alberta, Canada, responded to a report of a barbecue burglary and were on the lookout for “a suspect described as having red hair, being short in stature, and wearing a thick coat.”

“After a brief investigation, the suspect was located attempting to conceal the evidence nearby,” police write in an Instagram post.

Sure enough, the post is accompanied by a picture of an adorable red fox with at least four unpackaged hot dogs in its mouth.

“The suspect was released without conditions – and a full belly!” the post reads.
