A raccoon was spotted taking a wallet on Eighth Avenue in New Westminster on Aug. 18.

New Westminster police are looking for the unlucky person whose wallet was allegedly stolen by a pack of masked bandits: a trio of raccoons.

The raccoon suspects were caught on camera on Eighth Avenue in New West, with one making off with the dark-coloured wallet.

The raccoons have so far evaded police capture, and the wallet remains missing.
