Police in the UK are hoping the public can help them recover 18 valuable, and kind of creepy, stuffed animals that were taken from a taxidermy warehouse.
The Metropolitan Police shared a photo of the stolen items, including a dapper chimpanzee in a top hat, to their Twitter account on Wednesday.*
Police say the animals — including lions, a giraffe, a zebra, a sloth and more — were nabbed during a March 1 robbery in Wandsworth.
The thieves pulled up to the warehouse in a van, forced their way into the building and made off with several antiques and the animals.
