Four 'masked bandits' caught in Newport art gallery

Newport Police were called to the Inscapes Gallery on the Newport bayfront just after midnight Wednesday on a report of suspicious activity.

After arriving, police found four raccoon had entered the business.

We'll let the Newport Police Department tell the rest of the story:

"Four masked bandits burglarized Inscapes Gallery on SW Bay Blvd recently. Officers responded to a report of suspicious activity after midnight and cornered the suspects immediately upon entering the business. The suspects, known only by their street names of ‘Home Dog’, ‘Da Nails’, ‘Squeaky Feets’, and ‘2-Toes Todd’, attempted to elude officers on scene. After a brief scuffle, all suspects were captured without further incident or injuries.



‘Squeaky Feets’ told officers they had no intention of taking anything from the gallery; they were only trying to straighten a few pieces of art on the wall. Tell it to the judge, ‘Feets’. Tell it to the judge."
