Police thought a shoe thief was on the loose at a kindergarten in southwestern Japan, until a security camera caught the furry culprit in action.

警方原以為日本西南部一所幼兒園有一名偷鞋賊在逃，直到安全攝影機拍到了這隻毛茸茸的現行犯。

A weasel with a tiny shoe in its mouth was spotted on the video footage after police installed three cameras in the school in the prefecture of Fukuoka.

警方在福岡縣這所學校安裝了三個攝影機後，在影片中發現一隻嘴裡叼著一只小鞋的黃鼠狼。

Teachers and parents had feared it could be a disturbed person with a shoe fetish.

老師和家長原本擔心可能是個有戀鞋癖的精神異常人士。

Weasels are known to stash items and people who keep weasels as pets give them toys so they can hide them.

眾所周知，黃鼠狼會藏匿物品，飼養黃鼠狼當寵物的人會給牠們玩具，這樣牠們就可以把它們藏起來。

The weasel scattered shoes around and took 15 of them before police were called. Six more were taken the following day. The weasel returned Nov. 11 to steal one more shoe. The camera footage of that theft was seen the next day.

這隻黃鼠狼把鞋子散落一地，在警方獲報之前拿走了其中15只。次日又拿6只。11月11日，這隻黃鼠狼又回來多偷了一只鞋子。隔天就被攝影機鏡頭看到行竊。
