COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — A Columbus man was arrested early Tuesday following a bizarre string of break-ins at several stores in Hilliard.
Matthew Pancake is accused of breaking into the Fabulous Footwear shoe store on Hilliard-Rome Road just after 2 a.m. The police report alleges Pancake, 31, “busted out the glass to the front doors” of the store.
Pancake also is accused of breaking into a Petland store, as well as a Roosters restaurant.
Police say several hamsters were recovered in the suspect’s pants pockets. Also, when Pancake was found, he was wearing a leopard-print onesie, police said.
“It’s very odd,” Columbus Police Sgt. Joe Albert said. “Obviously, we don’t know what this individual is going through.”
