Plane in Bahamas may have been stolen by Colton Harris-Moore


The teenage burglar who has come to be known as “The Barefoot Bandit” is believed to have used a single-engine airplane that was stolen from an Indiana airport to fly 1,000 miles to the Bahamas.

Colton Harris-Moore has been linked to numerous burglaries as well as boats, cars, and several small airplanes. Harris-Moore taught himself how to fly, but apparently has trouble with landing as all of the planes that he is believed to have stolen were crash-landed.

The Cessna 400 Corvalis, which is believed to have been abandoned by Harris-Moore, was found in shallow water near a Bahamian island after the Coast Guard located its emergency beacon. [CBS]
