Normally, if you read a headline about a penguin robbing a convenience store, you'd assume Danny DeVito had cracked and held up a 7-Eleven. But over in England, people in actual penguin costumes are swiping Stellas... and miraculously evading police capture.

According to Express, local Durham cameras spied a dude in a full-length penguin outfit leaving a Sainsbury's Local convenience store with 10 cans of Stella Artois last week. The perp is said to be a white male in his 20s and miraculously, no one's caught him. The police are currently asking anyone with info on his whereabouts to contact them on the non-emergency 101 line. They'd nab him themselves, but they're too busy busting some thieves in hilarious "sexy Lincoln" disguises.
