Ronald McDonald statue ‘kidnapped’ from Carbon County restaurant
Police in Carbon County are on the lookout for a group of suspects accused of “kidnapping” a Ronald McDonald statue from a local McDonald’s.
According to the Nesquehoning Police Department, surveillance footage from Sunday shows several individuals walking into the restaurant and making off with the life-sized statue of the fast-food mascot. The statue, known for its cheerful expression and signature clown outfit, was last seen seated inside the McDonald’s before being carried out.
In a lighthearted but pointed Facebook post, police said Ronald was “last seen smiling, as usual, unaware of the betrayal,” and noted that “witnesses say he didn’t even put up a fight.” They added that taking the statue amounted to a “McFelony.”
Images of the missing statue and stills from surveillance video have been shared online in hopes of tracking down the suspects. No arrests had been made, and the whereabouts of Ronald remain unknown.
