Naked thief crawls through tiny hole in burger shop break-in

A shameless thief in China stripped naked to climb through a wall and pillage a burger shop, making off with $155 cash and an apron.

The break-in on Monday night in Bazhou City, in the country's north, was captured on CCTV, reports Shanghai List.

Footage shows the man in a ventilation shaft cut into a wall peering in to the shop's kitchen.

Apparently deciding his only way in was by stripping naked, he is then shown in the buff except for his glasses climbing through the hole.

The intruder lands on a table and then starts looking for valuables.

He enters the main restaurant area and finds the cash register, taking 800 yuan ($155) in cash and an apron.

On his way out he decides to cover a security camera on realising his every move has been recorded.

After playing the CCTV footage, the burger shop's owner contacted police who are now hunting the thief.
