SARASOTA, Fla. -- Investigators in Sarasota are looking for a thief who stole a skunk.

SURVEILLANCE: Woman Steals Baby Skunk

Surveillance video from a pet store on Monday shows a woman reaching into the skunk bin and then pulling out an 8-week-old skunk. She then walked down the aisle and put it into her purse.

You need a permit to own a skunk and managers say the one that was stolen needs special medical care for hypoglycemia.
