In a strange and unexpected twist to a burglary case, a man was caught on CCTV dancing in a school parking lot before robbing the premises in Sunbury, Victoria. The footage, now making rounds on the internet, has turned a routine robbery into a viral sensation.
The incident occurred at around 1:10 a.m. on April 23, but it gained attention only after the CCTV visuals surfaced online. The footage shows the man stepping out of a silver Holden Commodore, not to hide or rush into the school but to show off some joyful dance moves on the street.
Dressed to Move and Steal
Sporting a red and black hoodie, a red headband, blue gloves, and black running shoes, the man seemed more like a performer than a burglar. After his impromptu performance, he proceeded to scale the school fence and broke into the premises.
