Two Millennials Stole a $10,000 Replica Baby Dinosaur from a Museum
North Carolina State Police are on the hunt for two twentysomethings with an apparent affinity for fake, expensive dinosaurs. The couple can be seen in security footage from the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh jumping a barrier, snatching the $10,000 Edmontosaurus hatchling replica, and running off with it in a bag.
WRAL has a useful, detailed description of the thieves, apparently a couple:
The man, believed to be in his 20s, has light brown hair and is about 5 feet 7 inches tall. He was wearing a dark gray T-shirt, white shorts with gray or green stripes and black and white sneakers. The woman, also believed to be in her 20s, has brown hair, is about 5 feet 6 inches tall and was wearing a pink shirt, blue shorts and ankle-high boots.
The two are apparently museum bandits: There's also security footage of them making off with $1,000 worth of loot from the North Carolina Museum of History, conveniently located next door to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.
