Title: New York man in ill-advised shark heist

A man from New York state is facing charges, after he allegedly stole a shark from a pet shop.

30-year-old Elbert Starks is accused of fishing the $350 shark out of an aquarium in the pet store in Lynbrook, in Long Island, on December 12.

He then allegedly smuggled the nurse shark out of the store by hiding it under his jacket, before releasing it into his home aquarium.

Police say that they also found a green moray eel in the aquarium, which he had bought with a stolen credit card on January 2. ...

He was only caught because of his very fishy behaviour. I hope the scales of justice are balanced fairly on this one.

This could result in a very toothy court case.

In any case, I'm not sure that the victim can appear in court without an accompanying bath.

He'd have to so that everyone can distinguish the victim from the lawyers.  :-)
