World's worst dancer (and thief) caught on camera

US police are searching for the world’s worst dancer, who is also an alleged thief.

CCTV cameras captured the man loitering near a woman’s table at a Philadelphia restaurant, after she got up to use the bathroom.


The thief then begins slow dancing in an attempt to disguise his suspicious behaviour, before leaning back and snatching the woman's purse.

He then continues dancing as he makes his way out of the restaurant, tucking the wallet down his pants as he shimmies off.

Fortunately for police though, the dancing thief stole a glance at the restaurant's security cameras on his way out.

Anyone with information should contact police.

Thieves displaying this unique combination of arrogance and ignorance frequently find themselves the stars of viral CCTV.
