Albuquerque, NM(KKOB) – The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is asking for your help in finding a remote controlled balloon, stolen from its warehouse. In a very “grinch” type move, the rip off happened on Thanksgiving Day. From surveillance video, looks like the man drives a dark blue Kia sedan with tinted windows. The suspect managed to make off with the balloon, and all that’s needed to fly it. The balloon is red white and blue…its nick name, “Patriot.”
If you come across “Patriot” or RC equipment for sale or listed online, please contact Balloon Fiesta directly at balloons@balloonfiesta.com or 505-821-1000 or the Albuquerque Police Department
You can find pictures of “Patriot” and those of the man believed to have taken the remote controlled balloon, at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta Facebook page.
