VIDEO: Thief caught dancing on CCTV while breaking into Co Kildare home

A brazen burglar performed a dance routine while helping to break into a home in Newbridge last month.

The man appeared on CCTV footage on CrimeCall this week.

The thief suddenly began performing a Moondance-style dance routine as his accomplices tried to force the door of the home in the College Orchard area about 8.50pm.

The robbery occurred in Newbridge last month and Gardai were appealing for information.

CrimeCall presenter Keelin Shanley said: "Somebody might recognise that - that might be his party piece."

The Garda in studio was equally shocked by the incident and added: "It’s very unusual, in all my career in An Garda Síochána I’ve never seen anything like this."

The perpetrator can be seen handing his two accomplices a screw driver before carrying out the dance routine.

Suspects 

One of the suspects is described as being between 5ft 8in and 5ft 9in with a heavy build and large stomach. He spoke with what gardaí described as a "local country accent".

He was armed with a screwdriver and wearing a black jacket and runners.

The second suspect was the same height with a slim build, brown eyes, and strong Dublin accent. He was wearing a baseball cap, black jumper and tracksuit bottoms.

The third suspect was 5ft 10in with a stocky build and strong Dublin accent, wearing a wool hat, grey scarf, black jacket, gloves, tracksuit bottoms and runners.
