Man Caught Stealing Live Lobsters From Seafood Restaurant
(Hong Kong -WABC, June 9, 2005) Talk about being caught with your hand in the cookie jar.
A man was caught in the middle of plucking two live lobsters and a grouper fish for a seafood restaurant tank.
The man pretended to be with a group of mahjong-playing customers, allowed to finish their game after the restaurant closed, according to police and the Sing Pao Daily News.
The newspaper quoted a security guard as saying he found the man, in his mid-30s, placing the seafood into a plastic bag at 2:30 a.m. Tuesday.
The newspaper reports that when the man quizzed the man on what he was doing, he said he was retrieving the seafood for kitchen staff.
After he failed to convince the guard, the man fled and was found hiding in the kitchen, it said. The recovered lobsters and grouper fish had a combined value of about $154.
