Related: About this forumMiss Helen, shark stolen in a pram, recovering in US aquarium
A shark disguised by thieves as a baby in a pram and abducted from a Texas aquarium has been found and returned.
The horn shark - called Miss Helen - "is in quarantine right now resting" and "is doing good so far", San Antonio Aquarium said.
On Saturday, the shark was grabbed from an open pool by two men and a woman, then wrapped in a wet blanket and put in the bucket with a bleach solution.
...
Police officers then discovered that one of the suspects maintained an extensive collection of marine life in his home.

This human greed needs to be prosecuted severely.

SAN ANTONIO - A man charged with stealing a shark from the San Antonio Aquarium is in hot water again after police say he stole pots and pans from an H-E-B.
Anthony Sinclair Shannon, 38, was arrested on a felony theft charge Monday after he was recognized as a suspect in a cookware swiping scheme at the grocery store.
Police said Shannon fit the description of a suspect in the unrelated theft case.
Shannon is facing a separate charge in connection with the shark heist. He is no stranger to criminal activity, however, with an extensive rap sheet that includes eight prior arrests.
