The hunt is on for the Swansea beaver (Picture: Oceana Swansea / Facebook)

Criminal mastermind this person is not.

The fancy dress costume-wearing individual was captured on a nightclub’s CCTV after leaning over the bar and grabbing a bottle before making a run for it.

Unfortunately he or she only managed to escape with a bottle of blackcurrant squash worth about 60p.

Oceana Swansea said it did consider calling the police over the incident, but ultimately decided ‘having to report a tipsy beaver running up a sweat… armed with some fruit juice wasn’t on the cards’.

‘If anyone noticed a friend return home last night, out of breath, furry and with purple lips, please point them to the nearest Specsavers,’ the club added on its Facebook page.

One commenter responded by saying: ‘I just wish they’d catch the Swansea Beaver, he’s a menace to our city.’
