“You’re going to think we’re full of 'hot air' when you read this,' police joked in a statement.
Police officers in Florida have recovered a hot air balloon stolen in Indiana, almost 900 miles away.
Marion County Sheriff’s Office deputies tasked with investigating the claims confirmed the balloon at the festival was indeed the missing device. Marion County Sheriff’s Office said this was the first time the force had recovered a stolen hot air balloon in their 175-year history. “This just proves that you never know what the MCSO is going to be called out to next…” the force said.
Running each evening from Friday to Sunday, The Villages Balloon Festival featured tethered balloon rides as well as food stalls. Spectators could watch what is known as a balloon glow at around 7 p.m., where the orbs light up in unison, according to the event website.
