Three American teenagers were arrested by police in New York after they were suspected of stealing and eating a mother swan, and abducting four of her babies.
The crime, however, was reported to the police only on Monday, said Manlius police chief Kenneth Hatter. All three have been charged with felony grand larceny and criminal mischief, as well as misdemeanour conspiracy and criminal trespass. “This was not done because the family was lacking food. It was done because they wanted to hunt what they thought was a large duck,” Mr Hatter told CBS News.Faye and Manny had swum in the village pond for over 10 years after they were donated by biologist and self-described “swan guru” Michael Bean in 2010. The beloved birds hatched countless cygnets every spring.
