BREAKING: Denver Cops In Hot Pursuit of Fugitive Bunny

Authorities in Denver, CO are engaged in a frantic car chase with a suspected arugula thief heading north on Interstate 25. Witnesses at a local Safeway supermarket reported seeing the suspect, identified by police as a 4-year-old bunny named Belly, leave the store with a pawful of lettuce under a trench coat.

When Safeway security was alerted, Belly allegedly hopped into his Ford Fiesta and sped off. Local police were soon in pursuit.

“I knew there was something weird going on,” says grocery shopper Linda McNally, who witnessed the alleged heist. “That bunny was sniffing around, looking all suspicious. I saw him snatch the arugula – he couldn’t help himself!”

At this time, a squadron of police cars are trailing a safe distance from the Fiesta, and on-ramps to Interstate 25 north of Denver have been closed for public safety.
