A raccoon that broke into a Virginia store and joyfully drank its way through the liquor aisle is now suspected of a wider crime spree, officials say.

A Hanover animal control officer suspects the stripe-tailed mammal also broke into a nearby karate studio and then raided the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for snacks.

“Supposedly, this is the third break-in he’s had,” said Officer Samantha Martin.

Ms Martin says it’s only a matter of time before the masked bandit strikes the shopping centre again.

FYI - there are tshirts and hoodies available, but only for another 41 hrs.

      Autumn is their favorite time of year. All that fruit fermenting on the ground after falling from the trees is sweet nectar to them.

        Aside from the drunk monkeys, there are videos that show animals getting absolutely shmammered from fermented fruit that has fallen on the ground in africa, and they have documented the same animals going to the same spot yearly to get the good stuff.

        Drunk elephants are funny as fuck

          Not just Africa–all over the world. Lots of videos of squirrels and even moose going for nice, naturally fermented apples.
