A dancing thief was captured on video last week in Mississauga.
The man broke into Tech Solutions, a computer and cellphone repair shop across from Port Credit GO Station on April 22, the owner, Syed Yasir, said.
Video surveillance footage captured a man, wearing a hoodie, a face covering and gloves, looking through display cabinets with a flashlight. After he finishes, he stands in the middle of the shop, jumping and waving his arms.
The dance ends with a Usain Bolt-style victory pose.
The man grabs a bag full of items and climbs over the security gate to exit the store. The store’s front window had been broken. As he climbs the gate, several items fall out of the bag; he picks them up before leaving.

Yasir told INsauga.com the man took all the phones from the showcase.
He reported the break-in to police, but he isn’t optimistic that the man will be caught.
Peel Regional Police did not immediately respond to a request for information on the theft.
Yasir posted videos to the Port Credit Life Facebook group.
“Dancing looter last night,” he said in the post.
Residents expressed concerns about the break-in.
“This upsets me! I live close by and the people who own the store are very kind and do not deserve this,” one person said.
“As long as those young guys know that there will be no consequences for this they will keep doing it,” another person said.
