Gardaí are searching for three men who stole a penguin from Dublin Zoo this morning.

The penguin was bundled into a bag and taken away in a taxi at around 11am.

The men told the taxi driver it was a rabbit and they were dropped off in Dublin's north inner city.

The penguin was later found on the street and was taken to Store Street Garda Station.

It has been safely returned to Dublin Zoo.

What would drive you to piccckk up a penguin ???

worst penguin-napping ever!

Or maybe it was a ninja penguin who waited for the most opportune moment to spring on his captors and kill them in unnecessarily brutal ways to teach them that they messed with the wrong penguin and theyll be found dead in a tree?

The biggest laugh I had was thinking about the cops in Store St. answering the buzzer on the public counter to find a penguin staring up at them.

And then they stood at the counter, singing to him, "Freeze a jolly good fellow".

Why does the Zoo make it so easy to steal the Penguins?

The poor penguin! I'd heard of that happening before, but turned out to be an urban myth. Not any more though

They're really looking for Batman, Robin and Alfred.

It' wasn't dinner time and they still needed to get the rest of the ingredients. Fish starters with human main course all they needed was some ice cream and wafers and they where sorted.

Gardai suspect fowl play.

Imagine having a stroll around Dublin and seeing a penguin straight ahead of you. What a mind**** that must be.

Didn't some scum throw a penguin to the Loins in Dublin Zoo some time in the past ?

Brendog

I wonder ,when the penguin was brought to store st. garda station, if he dropped the soap...

rockmongrel

I bet the guys were ****ing p!ssed and thought it'd be hilarious. Which it most certainly is!

think it was a rabbit from the petting zoo

i can remember a penguin being nicked before but cant remember where

danniemcq

Maybe it was just a nun?

Do you think she paid for the taxi or was she a little short

Gardai have an identity parade lined up.

I reckon it was two guys doing a stupid thing for a child they hadn't seen in years cause they'd both been in prison. So they pick up this animal, bring him to the child, the mother finds out and she goes Bezerk

It would have been funny to see a penguin wandering around Dublin randomly, although I cannot say it was pleasant

It was ok. They couldn't get the wrapper off so just threw it away
