Raccoons break into Bay Area bank

Two youths with bushy tails and black fur masks broke into a Bay Area bank via an air duct Tuesday. The intruders were shooed back onto the street and didn't abscond with any money.
The two juvenile raccoons were found by the Peninsula Humane Society inside the Redwood City bank as the Humane Society responded to a call from a man using the the ATM, who initially thought he was looking at a stuffed animal on top of a desk inside the bank. He then saw the animal move and realized he was staring directly at a live raccoon and called the Humane Society.
The bank was closed to the public at the time. The Peninsula Humane Society did not share the name of the bank where the break-in took place.
“The bank managers let our rescue staff into the bank, and after about 10 minutes of chasing the raccoons around the bank, we were finally able to safely shoo them outside. They apparently didn’t want to leave the bank,” said PHS/SPCA communications manager Buffy Martin Tarbox.
The two intrepid intruders left a telling trail as they breached the bank's exterior.
“There were muddy paw prints on a tree outside the bank, so we suspect the raccoons climbed the tree to the roof of the bank, and then somehow managed to crawl into the air ducts and fell through the ceiling tiles onto the floor of the bank,” Tarbox said. “There were several broken ceiling tiles, and the masked bandits knocked papers around and even a computer over. Thankfully, the raccoons were not injured during their morning escapade.”
