Is this squirrel behind the theft of 28,000 pounds of nuts?
Probably not, but that didn't stop a Michigan police department from having a little fun with a recent Facebook post.
According to the Shelby Township Police Department, a semitractor and trailer loaded with 18 pallets of snack nuts recently was stolen in the area. Although the truck and trailer were eventually found, the nuts – worth an estimated $128,000 – are still missing.
To spread the word, the department issued a BOLO – "be on the lookout" – about the case, complete with a photo of a criminal critter.
"Note: The squirrel is not a suspect," the department added. "It's just a picture. Used to draw attention. Please do not call in squirrel sightings."
Anyone with real information about the case should call 586-731-2121, ext. 315.
