And finally… fintastic

A trio of thieves briefly succeeded in stealing a shark from an aquarium by disguising it as a baby in a pram.

CCTV footage released by police shows two men and a woman lifting the horn shark from a public pool where visitors are allowed to stroke the fish.

The shark, “Miss Helen”, was grabbed by the tail, wrapped in a wet blanket and then placed in a bucket in the pram.

Thanks to several tips, police managed to recover the shark and return her to the San Antonio Aquarium in Texas, KSAT12 reports.

One man has been arrested and local police chief Joseph Salvaggio said he expects to make more arrests.
