Accused thief eats cereal on CCTV camera during alleged robbery at home in Teesdale, Victoria

A suspected thief has been caught on security footage bizarrely eating a bowl of cereal at the home of a family he allegedly broke into and robbed.

The man entered the home in Teesdale, near Geelong, on Thursday and allegedly stole $5,000 worth of jewelry and two jet skis worth $15,000 each.

Mother-of-two Lexie Hern claimed her late grandmother’s gold necklace was among the jewelry taken.

She explained that CCTV footage reportedly showed the man entering her property and searching a number of rooms, including bedrooms and the bathroom.

He then walks into the kitchen at one point and takes a bowl of cereal with milk.

CCTV shows the dark-haired man, who is seen wearing a white T-shirt and a face mask tucked under his chin, eating from the bowl and making noises.

“Oh, yum,” you hear him say.

He then turns to the camera and makes airplane noises as he continues to eat.

Ms Hern said her security cameras captured the “absolute idiot who broke in”.

“This person just casually entered our house, helped herself to food and our bathroom, and just took off with our things,” she told the Geelong Advertiser.

‘Then he drinks his bowl and sets it down.

“Before you know it, he’ll hook up the trailer and take off with our jet skis on.”

She added that it was scary that the man had broken in during the day.

The woman described the area she lives in as “pretty quiet” and said the theft was the “first time in ages I’ve heard of something like this happening around here.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
