A man in New Hampshire used a toddler to steal prizes from a game machine, police say
Police are now looking to identify the man involved in the incident, which took place at the Mall of Rockingham Park in Salem on Friday.
Most come up empty-handed when trying their shot at a KeyMaster game, but one man in Salem, New Hampshire, on Friday managed to evade any loss by using a method that has now captured the attention of police: having a toddler climb into the game and pull out various prizes. In a video posted by the Salem Police Department, the man — who officers are now looking to identify — is shown having a female toddler climb into the bottom portion of the game where the prizes are dropped, and then having her hand down the stolen items. The incident took place at the Mall of Rockingham Park.

Along with the toddler, the man also had another child with him, “perhaps 5 to 7 years of age,” police said. After the toddler retrieved several game prizes, the man left the area with the children and stolen goods, according to police.
