STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- Swedish police said they have arrested two people accused of plotting to rob a currency exchange office while one wore a blue bunny costume.
Authorities said the pair and five alleged assistants were arrested after the two allegedly attempted to rob the targeted office but were foiled by staff members who activated a security door, Swedish News Agency TT reported.
Witnesses said one of the suspects was dressed in a blue bunny costume and the other was wearing a crash helmet and holding a shotgun. They were both being held on suspicion of armed robbery Wednesday, police said.
The person in the rabbit suit is also a suspect in another crime that took place earlier in the day, investigators said.
"We also received a report about a stolen bunny suit," Stockholm police spokesman Bjorn Engstrom said.

Mouse 1, Viper 0
TAIPEI, Taiwan, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- Taiwan firefighters caring for a foot-long viper tossed a tiny mouse in the cage as a snack but then watched as the mouse turned mighty and killed the snake.
The furry little rodent skirted in and out of range of the snake's gaping jaws and long fangs, darted in for a bite, then skittered away, constantly on the attack.
At the end of a fierce 30-minute battle at the Nanoun fire station, the snake was dead and the mouse had "barely a scratch on him," one fireman told The Daily Telegraph.
Police: Drunken man made himself at home
GAITHERSBURG, Md., Oct. 10 (UPI) -- Police say a 50-year-old man was intoxicated when he allegedly entered someone else's home in Gaithersburg, Md., had a snack and went to sleep.
Montgomery County police spokeswoman Lucille Baur said Bob and Joanne Breiner returned to their home Sept. 27 to find a man they didn't know sleeping soundly in their bed, The Washington Post (NYSE:WPO) reported.
Baur said the couple and their son fled the house and contacted police, who woke up the confused man a short time later.
The unidentified man was 8 miles from his real home in Damascus, Md., after apparently getting off a bus several stops too early and mistakenly entering the Breiners' home.
The family told the Post the man was so apologetic for the drunken mistake that they decided not to press charges.
"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry," the Breiners quoted the man as saying in his defense. "By the way, you have a very comfortable bed."
