By Imy Brighty-Potts

A bendy Australian bandit performed an elaborate yoga routine in the parking lot of a bakery she then burglarized moments later.

The limber criminal did her yoga routine and was caught stretching by the bakery’s surveillance camera just before she broke into the pastry shop at around 3 a.m. on March 3rd, swiping some croissants, according to Phillippa's Bakery's Instagram post on Monday.

“We were quite surprised when we saw the security footage from a recent break in at our Bakery HQ. Seems like yoga is a must before breaking in,” Phillippa’s Bakery shared in a caption of the video. A few things were stolen including some croissants which were clearly too tempting for this flexible burglar.”

The bakery added a song from “Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol” soundtrack over the clip which shows the flexible fiend dressed in all black rolling around the parking lot doing leg and body stretches before committing her crime.

The burglar appears to kick her legs up, lifts her arms in the air and rolls her shoulders as she lies on the ground in the comedic footage which has gained over 700 likes.

One commenter wondered if she was trying to get in a pre-emptive workout, ahead of her delicious buttery treats. “Is this about working off the calories of the croissants before they steal them?” they wrote under the bakery’s post.

The 44-year-old Richmond woman, grabbed the flakey crescent pastries along with a pair of shoes, an iPad and cleaning products from Phillippa’s location on North Street in Richmond, according to 9 News. She was charged with theft, burglary and going equipped to steal and released on bail, according to the local outlet.
