The teen age known as the barefoot bandit is cooling his heels in the jails tonight after the police in the Bahamas captured him yesterday. 19 year old Colton Harris Moore was arrested after police shut out the engines on the booty he stolen. He apparently arrived in Bahamas a week ago after crash landing a plane he had stolen in the US. Harris Colton with a criminal record going back to age 12 is escaped two years ago from a half way house in Washington State. A self taught pilot, he is wanted for crimes across the US and is suspected at the airport breaking in south east BC. He got his nick name from the fact that he apparently committed himself that he was barefoot, but his age and explore give him a huge following online. Theresa Lalonde has that story.


There’s no doubt Colton Harris Moore is an online bandit hero, not just one but dozens face book fan pages and people playing around with the story. You can put your face in his body or actor you like, Robert Padison or Michael Sara, the bandit hero also has the YouTube bait and there’s T-shirts. The CBC has interviewed his fans.

“Today is Colton’s birthday, and you know this?”

“Yes. I do know that. I mean there’s a lot of information out there in the internet.”

The thing is about so called criminals turned call hero. They’re having an adventure. And these days we got follow that adventure online.

“Each of those successive incidence of stolen vehicle, stolen speed boats, stolen plane, you know breaking into a restaurant and only taking enough food for yourself to eat, leaving choc footmarks on the ground. Always been barefoot those are really strong thing to sort of have this story standout.”

Kemp Edmonds says it’s hard to know how much of the online fur is filled by fantasy.

“Something amazing or makes them laugh that tense to be what the kind of things they share.”

There is an anti barefoot bandit foot page with a small following. More people learn out buying free Colton T-shirt then sending money to fan pages to his defense. Harris Moore apparently has laptop with him when arrested. Fling it in the water as police closed in.
