The 41-year-old had allegedly broken in to steal alcohol when he decided to satisfy his desire for seafood.

Unluckily for Quinn he was caught before he could enjoy the fruits of his labour.

Police were called after the hungry suspect allegedly smashed the eatery's front door to get in.

Quinn was arrested and charged with burglary, theft and other offences.
