A woman in Melbourne has been caught on tape stretching before allegedly robbing a bakery.
On Monday (18 March), Phillippa’s Bakery in Richmond released security footage on Instagram of the robber stretching before entering its head office.
“A few things were stolen including some croissants which were clearly too tempting for this flexible burglar,” the caption read.
According to Australian news site 9News, the 44-year-old robber allegedly broke into Phillippa’s Bakery’s head office on 3 March at around 3am.
The woman was dressed in an all-black outfit, performing various “yoga stretches” before entering the premises.

After security footage of the “yoga burglar” was released, Phillippa’s Bakery decided to capitalise on its growing media publicity.
In a string of Instagram stories on 20 March, the Melbourne bakery firstly promoted the almond croissants that were stolen.
“It’s time to stock up on almond croissants, like our infamous burglar,” the caption read.
