A Portland teenager has been charged with stealing a pet bunny and trying to extort money from the bunny's owner.

The 17 year old allegedly broke into the apartment of another teen, who apparently owed him $100, and stole his gray pygmy rabbit. The robber then telephoned the rabbit's owner, telling him that unless the debt was paid the bunny would get hurt.

Officers recovered the rabbit in good condition and the young robber faces charges of burglary and theft in connection with the break-in.

However, it appears that they're dealing with more than just a bunny terrorist here; the juvenile also faces charges of robbery, assault and terrorizing following a confrontation in which he allegedly stole another teen's skateboard, backpack and pocket money.
