Teddy bear thief caught on bicycle

There is big trouble for an accused teddy bear bandit in Belleville, Illinois.

He was in the St. Clair County Jail on Wednesday night, unlikely to get out any time soon; all for stealing a giant stuffed teddy bear.



A neighbour chased after Floyd Wallace who fled with the bear on a bicycle.

“Apparently one of the limbs from the teddy bear got caught up in the spokes of his bike, which made him [Wallace] fall over,” said Belleville Police Captain Don Sax. “The good citizen was able to then take possession of the bear.”

There's a news video here.
