Surprising find among snacks in high school vending machine
Hungry high schoolers received an unexpected surprise when they discovered a raccoon nestled among the snacks in a vending machine.
The animal was caught sitting on top of chips and peering out the glass at Pine Ridge High School in the US state of Florida on Wednesday.
“This gentleman was apprehended today while committing a burglary of a vending machine at Pine Ridge High School,” Volusia County Sheriff’s Office wrote on Facebook.
After police attended the high school they called in Deltona Animal Control to help free the raccoon.
A vending machine operator was also contacted to help unlock the door so he could make a swift exit, which he did so with “little encouragement”.
“And he’s off to his next adventure,” police wrote on Facebook.
It is not known how the raccoon managed to make its way into the vending machine, but many joked he was after the snacks.
“So glad this little bandit didn’t earn a day in court,” one joked.
“Does anybody have a dollar I can borrow?” another commented.
