A Long Island, N.Y., teenager's bike was stolen by two gorillas and a chicken.
The Associated Press reports that the young man was riding along Route 25A early Monday afternoon when three people dressed in animal costumes approached him.
These weren't folks out for an early trick-or-treat.
Suffolk County police confirm that one of the ape-suited crooks slugged the kid in the head, knocking him off the bike.
The chicken bandit then rode off on the bike while the two apes ran away.
The teenager suffered minor injuries and was treated and released from a local hospital. Detectives are currently on the hunt for the animal-human fugitives.
Costumed bandits are nothing new. In August, a woman was arrested for reportedly robbing a bank in Pennsylvania -- dressed as a clown.
And other odd criminal disguises include a bank robber who dressed up as a tree, another who used duct tape to cover his face, and one who wore a beer box on his head.
