A squirrel in Finland has developed a taste for Kinder Surprise eggs - and steals them from the same shop twice a day.

On the prowl for chocs and toys?
The creature heads to the grocery shop to help itself to the chocolate eggs at regular intervals, according to staff.
Irene Lindroos, the manager of the store in Jyvaskyla said: "I named it the Kinder-Squirrel, after the treats.
"It always goes after them. Other sweets do not seem to interest it as much."
The chocolate eggs, which are targeted at children, has a toy inside.
And the chocoholic rodent is a fan of the toys as well.
Ms Lindroos added: "It removes the foil carefully, eats the chocolate and leaves the store with the toy."
Unfortunately, the bushy-tailed thief does not clean up after itself, but leaves the wrappers behind, she said.
