“The world’s dumbest criminal has robbed team Hewitt & Whitty Geelong,” they said.

After entering the premises, the man can be seen pushing 12 troughs up a ramp used to load farm animals, before throwing them over the fence and into the carpark.

The unusual crime has received attention online for the company’s commentary on the CCTV footage.

A man can be heard saying, “a part of me wants to say well done mate and shake his hand”, before pointing out the vehicle used in the crime “could only be the most recognisable ute in Geelong”.

It is believed the man is known to the area, and has been recently sighted in the northern suburbs.

Police are now investigating the matter.
