Crime by Erin Lyons 4th May 2021 5:58 PM A man s bizarre act after he allegedly broke into a Melbourne butcher before jumping the counter has baffled police. The alleged incident occurred on April 5 inside Marshall s Quality Meats in Langwarrin. Rather than making a mad dash in and out, the man allegedly spent 90 minutes preparing and attempting to smoke a few hundred dollars worth of meat. Police will allege the man busted into the store about 11pm before cooking himself a meat feast and swiping $410 cash and a Holden car key, which was later found a few hundred metres down the road.
A manhunt is underway for a brazen thief who broke into a butcher shop and cooked himself a feast with meat worth hundreds of dollars.
The hungry robber broke into Marshalls Quality Meats at a shopping precinct in Langwarrin, in inner-city Melbourne around 11pm on April 5.
The man spent just under two hours preparing and cooking various cuts of meat, before giving the store a quick clean and letting himself out.
