Police across Victoria are on the hunt for a Christmas grinch accused of stealing liquor and a dozen hams.
Shepparton police are searching for a man caught on CCTV who walked into the Coles supermarket at Riverside Plaza in Kialla, near Shepparton, at about 4.30pm on November 12.
In what police have called a "hambitious move", he placed a dozen hams into a trolley and "legged it" out of the store.
He was last seen driving away with the purloined pork in a white Ford sedan with South Australian number plates.
Police in Bendigo and Echuca are also on the hunt for the ham-loving thief in relation to the theft of liquor.
The crackling crook is described as Caucasian, bald and aged in his 40s. On each occasion he was wearing a dark-coloured top and dark-coloured pants.
Anyone who recognises the ham-fisted thief is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
