Police chase masked bandit out of Tampa home

Tampa PD received a call for a home intruder, only to find an unexpected masked bandit.

TAMPA, Fla. — On Sunday, Sept. 6, Tampa PD responded to a different kind of home invasion call. The police department shared a body cam video via Twitter as a pair of officers helped rid of the intruder.

Not knowing who else to call, the homeowner dialed 911 after hearing noises in her closet. The furry bandit turned out to be a raccoon. 

The feisty peeping raccoon was chased out of the home, nipping one officer in the hand on the way out. The officer is doing just fine, police say.
