WASHINGTON (AP) — Authorities say a man got hungry while he was burglarizing a District of Columbia hamburger restaurant and began cooking himself some food.

The Metropolitan Police Department said in a news release that security footage from March 18 shows the suspect putting food on the grill after breaking into a Five Guys restaurant.

The video appears to show the man cooking two cheeseburgers while talking on a cellphone, but a police spokesman tells The Washington Post (http://wapo.st/25TxDFL) he couldn’t confirm the nature of the food.

Officer Sean Hickman says the man sneaked inside the restaurant after a delivery person left, and eventually stole a bottle of water.

Authorities say the incident is being investigated as a burglary. A $1,000 reward has been offered for information leading to his arrest.

    How many peanuts did he take?

  3. Pay for an overnight shift is a single cheeseburger, so management called police when the tapes showed the employee getting a second burger and a bottle of water.

    “It’s a pity,” said the manager, who asked not to be named. “He’d almost worked long enough to pay off the cost of his uniform. Another month would have done it.”

  4. You see is not that criminals are lazy. This one is perfectly honest about “I’ll work for food”.
