Texas Police Find Shark Stolen in Baby Stroller
This is What's Trending Today...
A small shark that was stolen from an aquarium in Texas has been found and safely returned.
Miss Helen is a 40-centimeter-long gray horn shark. She spends her time in a touch tank at the San Antonio Aquarium, where visitors are permitted to touch sea creatures.
On Saturday afternoon, a group of thieves took Helen out of the tank. Then, they put the animal in a wheeled baby carrier and walked out of the aquarium before anyone noticed Miss Helen was missing.
The "great shark heist," as people are calling it, was captured on surveillance video. The aquarium put the video on its Facebook page.
The video shows one man taking the shark out of the tank and carrying it away, off camera. A second man follows him. He appears to be holding a blanket.
The two men then reappear on the video. The second man is seen putting the shark -- now wrapped in a blanket -- into the baby stroller. He is then joined by the first man and by a woman carrying a young child. The group exits together.
Aquarium workers quickly noticed that Miss Helen was missing, and called the police.
On Monday night, police found Miss Helen in a home filled with fish tanks and other ocean wildlife. She has been safely returned to the aquarium and appears to be in good health.
"Sharknapping: Unsuccessful!" the aquarium posted on Facebook after Miss Helen's return.
Experts at the aquarium will be closely examining Miss Helen's health and behavior over the next few days before returning her to the tank.
Local police chief Joseph Salvaggio said two men have admitted to taking the shark. Investigators also plan to talk with the woman seen in the video. Salvaggio told the San Antonio television station KSAT that one of the men was very knowledgeable about marine life. He likely went to the aquarium especially to take Miss Helen. The man told police he had had a horn shark of his own, but the animal died.
Texas law enforcement officials are speaking with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to see whether any federal charges can be filed, Salvaggio said.

美国警方侦破“婴儿车偷鲨鱼”案
这里是《今日热点》节目。
德克萨斯州一家水族馆失窃的小鲨鱼已经被警方找到并安全送回。
“海伦小姐”是一条40厘米长的灰色角鲨。她一直生活在圣安东尼奥水族馆的触摸箱里，这家水族馆允许游客触摸海洋生物。
周六下午，一个小偷团伙将“海伦”从水族箱中捞出来。然后，他们把这条角鲨放入带轮的婴儿车内后离开水族馆，此时没有人发现“海伦小姐”失踪。
这场“大鲨鱼劫案”的案发经过刚好被监控录像拍到。水族馆将这段视频上传至脸书主页。
视频显示, 一名男子将鲨鱼从水族箱里捞出后将其带走，最后消失在镜头里。他身后还尾随着另一名男子。这名男子手里好像拿着一块毛毯。
随后，两名男子再次出现在监控里。视频里的第二名男子把裹在毛毯里的鲨鱼放进婴儿车。接着，他与第一名男子以及一位抱着孩子的女子接头。该盗窃团伙一起离开了水族馆。
很快，水族馆的工作人员发现“海伦小姐”失踪，随后报警。
周一晚间, 警方在一处满是鱼缸和其他海洋野生动物的居所内找到了“海伦小姐”。她已被安全送回水族馆，看起来健康状况良好。
《绑架鲨鱼案：失败！》“海伦小姐”失而复得后，水族馆将这篇帖子发到脸书上。
在接下来的几天里，水族馆专家将密切关注“海伦小姐”的健康状况和行为，然后再将她送回水族箱。
当地警察局局长约瑟夫·萨尔瓦乔（Joseph Salvaggio）说，两名男子已经承认偷盗鲨鱼。调查员也计划与在视频中的女子约谈。萨尔瓦乔告诉圣安东尼奥电视台KSAT广播站，其中一名男子对海洋生物十分了解。他很可能是专程去水族馆偷“海伦小姐”的。该男子告诉警方，自己曾经养过一条角鲨，只不过那条鲨鱼死了。
萨尔瓦乔说，德克萨斯州的执法官员正在与国家海洋和大气管理局商议，以确定是否可提出联邦指控。
