Last night, a stolen Cirrus plane landed on Orcas Island, a favorite stomping ground for infamous teen fugitive , giving residents reason to assume the “Barefoot Burglar” is at it again, according to the .
The plane was stolen from mainland Washington’s Skagit County and landed with only minor damage at Eastsound Airport. The plane was the same type of aircraft that Harris-Moore is suspected of stealing back in September 2009—one of three he allegedly took and then crash-landed, in part because he had no formal flight training.
In addition to the plane, a nearby grocery was broken into. Chalk outlines of bare feet were left at the scene, a possible new calling card—Harris-Moore was given the “Barefoot Burglar” moniker after bare footprints were found outside a hangar that he is suspected of stealing a plane from—or perhaps just another copycat trying to cover his tracks. As usual, police aren’t saying much at this point.
It's been more than 650 days since Harris-Moore broke free from prison and went on the lam.
