Catch me if you can. A one-man teenage crime wave wanted for dozens of burglaries and thefts in this country may have gone international. Why can’t authorities hunt down the barefoot bandit? From NBC News, this is TODAY with Lester Holt and Amy Robach, live from studio 1A in Rockefeller Plaza.
There’s a new development this morning in the search for the barefoot bandit. Authorities in the Bahamas have been looking for 19-year-old Colton Harris-Moore who they think crash landed a stolen plane nearly a week ago. Well, now they’re looking into report that he fled the island where the crash took place and spotted on another about 40 miles south. NBC’s Peter Alexander with the latest now.
These days the barefoot bandit may be dipping his toes into Caribbean Waters, his latest suspected hideaway, the sun soaked islands of the Bahamas. The 19-year-old convict on the run is Colton Harris-Moore. “This is a kid who had spit in the eye of law enforcement. And I think that it’s frustrating for them because they know that they can catch him.” But so far, they haven’t.
Harris-Moore who escaped from jail two years ago is wanted for more than 50 burglaries and thefts spanning from Washington State to Illinois.
He is accused of stealing everything from cash to food to boats to small airplanes which police say he’s taught himself to fly. Like the South Dakota family who returned from vacation last month to find a nude man in their home. Investigators believe it was Harris-Moore. Now Harris-Moore has apparently graduated to international fugitive status. Authorities in the Bahamas suspect he crash landed a stolen plane just off their coast this past weekend after flying it nearly 1000 miles from Indiana.
Island police are combing the area, but so far nothing. The barefoot bandit again gone without a trace. The FBI is also chasing Harris-Moore offering a cash reward $10,000 for adding information leading to his arrest. “I think law enforcement is a good chance of catching him because he is on an island which makes it a little bit harder for him to escape.” The barefoot bandit has disappeared once again leaving at anyone’s guess where he’ll wash up next.
