Australians outraged! You won't believe what item was snatched in a brazen 3am theft! Discover the bizarre details now!

In the quiet of the early morning, when most are sound asleep, a bakery in Salisbury, Adelaide's north, became the unlikely scene of a crime that has Australians both outraged and, oddly enough, chuckling at the sheer audacity of it all. The incident, which unfolded at 3 am, has left the community shaking their heads in disbelief and cracking up over the 'cheesy' details.

The heist, which seems to have been ripped straight from a slapstick comedy, involved the brazen theft of several cheesecakes from a local cake shop. The bakery owner, upon noticing suspicious activity on the CCTV cameras, promptly alerted the South Australian Police. The footage, later released by 9News, captured two individuals clambering through the window of the store and rummaging through a refrigerator, clearly on a mission for the creamy dessert.



Responding to the call, officers, accompanied by a police dog named Chaos, arrived at the scene to find the front window shattered and the culprits long gone. However, their escape was short-lived. In a nearby bush, police discovered two teenage boys and backpacks filled with the pilfered cheesecakes, evidence of their nocturnal indulgence.

The two 15-year-olds were arrested on charges of aggravated serious criminal trespass, and the investigation is ongoing. But it's not just the crime that's got people talking; it's the reaction from the community that's truly priceless.


South Australia Police, in a lighthearted twist, invited locals to share their best cake-related puns on their Facebook post about the incident. The internet did not disappoint. Comments poured in, with people jesting, 'This one takes the cake!' and 'Let’s just hope the teens weren’t baked! This news is just the icing!' Others joined in with, 'I bet the thieves feel crumby for doing it,' and 'They thought it was a piece of cake, but everything crumbled around them when they were caught by Chaos.'

The puns are a testament to the Australian spirit of finding humor even in the face of wrongdoing. It's a reminder that while crime is no laughing matter, the community can still come together and share a collective chuckle at the absurdity of some situations.

As for the cheesecake bandits, they've learned the hard way that you can't just have your cake and eat it too—especially when it's not yours to begin with. It's a sticky situation that's bound to leave a sour taste, but at least it's provided a moment of levity for the rest of us.

I know of a Chemist shop that was broken into via the roof. The thief wasn't very smart that time as he stepped on the wrong place before he opened the manhole and fell through the ceiling. When the Chemist went towards the doors to open up he found the guy on the floor with a badly broken leg and other injuries
