The clumsy pair literally dropped into the Warwick, NY branch of the US pharmacy store, and shocked an employee who heard the crash from the candy aisle.

The worker investigated the loud noise and discovered the two furry friends had fallen in through the ceiling before deciding to have a wander round.

The incident comes just a few weeks after a number of raccoons took shelter from the rain inside the Arkansas State University library.

Bill Smith - the school's associate vice chancellor for marketing and communications - said at the time: ''With all the rain we have in the area, these streams that are near the library, then we have woods that are also near the library that rising water has driven some of the wildlife out.

''In this case, they weren't just looking for higher ground, they were looking for some higher learning as well.''
