A man in Maryland is accused of stealing a kitten and bringing it with him to rob a bank.
Police say the suspect is on camera walking into a pet supplies store and grabbing the black-and-white kitten, reports NBC4 Washington.
According to witnesses, he then ran inside a nearby PNC Bank, handed the cat to a bank teller and demanded cash.
Prince George’s County police managed to arrest the suspect while the bank took care of the cat.
Beltsville Community Cats rescue released a statement on what happened and says the kitten is safe.
“Catnapper’s Bank Robbery Attempt Foiled!
Magnolia, our sweet 3.5-month-old tuxedo kitten, had quite the adventure today after being stolen from her adoption habitat at Pet Supplies Plus in Beltsville.
The man who took her walked across the parking lot to a nearby PNC Bank branch and tried to use her as an accessory in his attempted robbery. He asked the bank manager to hold the kitten while he wrote a note, then handed the note to a teller demanding all the cash.
Thankfully, the robbery was unsuccessful, the suspect was arrested, and Magnolia was found safe and sound in the bank manager’s office, where the two had bonded over their shared ordeal.
Now that her brief “life of crime” is behind her, Magnolia is back to doing what she does best: stealing hearts.
She’s still looking for her forever home, where the only things she’ll be stealing are treats, toys, and cuddles.”
