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.

    The only sure way to keep a Trash Panda from your trash is a heavy weight. Camping areas around here bolt one or two cinder blocks to the tops of trash cans.
