Colton Harris-Moore, the so-called Barefoot Bandit, whose crime spree has entertained tens of thousands of Facebook fans, has been captured, Breaking Celebrity News can report.
The 19-year-old from Camano Island, Washington native was captured in the Bahamas.
Harris-Moore's odyssey began in 2007 when he was sentenced to four years in juvenile detention after being caught living in a vacant home. He was sent to a group halfway house where he escaped out a window in 2008.
That's when Harris-Moore really got busy. He is a suspect in a string of car and boat robberies. He is even believed to have stolen -- and flown -- at least five planes although he has no known pilot-training.
The teen was said to have gone shoeless during many of his alleged crimes. His Facebook fans especially liked it when he left the chalk outline of footprints at a crime scene.
Colton-Harris' mother, Pam Kohler told the AP her son was convicted of his first crime, possession of stolen property, when he was 12.
