4-Year-Old Girl Trapped In Claw Machine After Trying To Steal Teddy Bears

A four-year-old's quest to win teddy bears from a claw machine ended with her trapped inside the contraption.

The young girl Poppy attempted to steal some teddy bears from a claw machine on a dare from her twin sister. However, the heist went terribly wrong after she couldn't escape from the claw machine. She entered through an opening in the glass box but was not able to escape through the same opening.

The family was at a pub in Airlie Beach, Queensland, Australia when the twin sisters gave into their mischievous sides.

Girl Trapped In Claw Machine

Melanie Pike, the girl's mother said that the twins were playing outside until they ran inside. A minute later, Poppy was stuck in the vending machine.

Poppy's sisters ran back to their parents to inform them that their child was imprisoned in a glass box filled with plush toys.

Pike filmed her daughter's temporary holdings and footage shows a frustrated Poppy sitting on a pile of plush toys as she desperately tries to escape and bangs on the glass.

While one of Poppy's sisters broke down in tears at the sight of her trapped sister, another one asked Poppy to grab some teddies.

Poppy's father managed to easily save her daughter from being trapped with plush toys by having her sit down in the machine, and gently yanking her through the opening she had entered through.

As any good mother would, Pike made sure that her daughter had learned from her mistakes and would not attempt any more high-stakes robberies. Pike asked, "Have you learned your lesson? Are you going to steal anymore?"

The now-freed Poppy promised that she was leaving her life of crime behind.

The video of the incident was uploaded on social media and has been viewed almost 8,000 times since it was uploaded.

Melanie Pike told the Daily Mail that Poppy was telling her friends that she was "famous" and added that the incident would be a "great funny story for her 18th birthday".
