BarberCut Lite Theft
Anthony Helinski, a 34-year-old teacher from Lawrence, Massachusetts, has been charged with putting his toddler into a BarberCut Lite arcade machine at a New Hampshire shopping mall and using her to steal prizes. He turned himself in Wednesday, five days after witnesses at the Mall at Rockingham Park recorded video of a man encouraging the girl to grab prizes from within the game.



This video shows the toddler climbing out of the machine. Andover Public Schools told WCVB-TV that Helinski has been placed on leave from his job as a middle school teacher and charged with theft, trespassing as well as child endangerment. He does not have a listed phone number and it has not been confirmed if he has an attorney.
