Escaped kangaroo goes on lingerie theft rampage in Czech Republic

Benji the kinky kangaroo is for the high jump after escaping from his owner and going on an underwear stealing spree.

The mixed-up marsupial bounced from garden to garden in Prague, Czech Republic, collecting ladies lingerie as he went. He was only caught when one victim looked out of her kitchen window and saw two-year-old Benji hopping it with her undies.



A police spokesman explained: "We had a call from Benji's owner saying his pet kangaroo had escaped. At the same time we started getting reports of a number of thefts from washing lines," said a police spokesman.

"We didn't think they could possibly be related until he was caught red-handed," he added. Benji's relieved owner Petr Hlabovic, 35, said: "I'm very relieved to have him back. I've got no idea what he thought he was up to - he certainly didn't pick up the habit from me."
