The beastly crime was carried out in a series of night-time raids on the Baltimore’s Carrie Murray Nature Center by two brothers, aged 11 and 14. Police spokeswoman Officer Nicole Monroe said yesterday that the boys will face charges including theft and breaking and entering. They've been released into their parents' custody. The animals they stole included an iguana, geckos, chameleons, turtles – and a wingless Madagascar hissing cockroach. Why, is anyone’s guess. Perhaps they wanted to see the cockroach have a hissing fit? Anyway, none of the animals came to any harm and they were all returned safe and sound to the nature centre.
