Burglars kill Sunrise family's pet rabbit.
From the Despicable Acts Department:
Burglars who broke into a Sunrise home Saturday night took little – but strangled one of the family’s two pet rabbits.
The would-be thieves opened the rabbit cage on the patio and took out bunny Lolo.
When the family came home, they found Lolo’s dead body outside the patio, the fur around his neck heavily ruffled, according to the Sunrise police report.
“His eyes were popped out and stuff. It looked like he had been choked. My mom was crying,” said son Anderson Baez.
The second rabbit “must have ran away,” Anderson said. They later found her in the backyard.
Police found no prints at the scene, according to the report. The family said drawers and closets had been opened, and papers gone through, but could not tell if anything was missing.
“It looked like they used gloves and stuff, police told us,” Anderson said.
Mom Rosamaria Baez told police she was willing to press charges if anyone was caught.
