A security guard is pulled by a truck while trying to apprehend the thief of a three-foot foam carrot

A mall security guard was pulled by a fleeing truck while trying to apprehend the suspected thief of a giant foam carrot.

Pennsylvania police say the suspect ran away after stealing the carrot from the Easter exhibit at Clearview Mall in the town of Butler.

Pennsylvania State Police officials responded to the mall after the giant carrot was reported stolen and the security guard said he chased the suspect into the parking lot in a dark red Chevy truck.

Police say that when the security guard tried to open the truck’s door, he was dragged about a quarter of a mile at a speed of up to 35 miles per hour.

The security guard was not injured in the incident.

“Fortunately, he’s doing well and has no injuries,” said the Clearview General Manager Mandy DeSantis said WPXI.

After an anonymous tip, police eventually located the stolen item at a home in Chicora, Pennsylvania.

Officials say two men, aged 20 and 18, have confessed to taking the carrot. Neither man was taken into custody, but state police say charges are being filed against them. reported The Butler Eagle.
