AUGUSTA, Maine, March 27 (UPI) -- Police in Maine say bosses at a McDonald's decided not to press charges against a real-life Hamburglar who snatched a bag of food from the drive-through lane.

Augusta police said the unidentified fast-food thief ran between a car and the drive-through window at the Western Avenue restaurant about 6 p.m. Sunday and grabbed a bag of food an employee was handing off to the driver, the Kennebec Journal reported Tuesday.

Police Lt. Christopher Massey said he spotted a teenager matching the description of the thief eating from a McDonald's bag in the parking lot of a nearby Arby's, but the youth swore and fled into the woods when approached.

Massey said McDonald's replaced the food for the occupants of the car, three teenage males who said they did not know the suspect.

He said McDonald's officials decided not to seek charges against the thief for taking the $20 order.

"They said that does happen occasionally," Massey said.
