Raccoons live up to ‘bandit’ nickname

A Wisconsin home became the unwilling site of a live-action Sly Cooper adaptation after it was overrun by mischievous raccoons.

The Wausau Police Department reports in a Facebook post that it responded to an “unusual home intrusion,” where it found “multiple masked suspects” inside the house and two more “loitering on the roof – almost taunting the responding officers.”

“No arrests were made,” the tongue-in-cheek post continues. “But the raccoons did receive a firm warning to vacate the premises (this warning was largely ignored).”

The post concludes with tips to avoid such a situation in your home, including securing trash cans and pet food and sealing access points.
