WASHINGTON -- A burglar took "dine-and-dash" to a whole new level as police said he broke into a Five Guys and cooked himself a cheeseburger.

Washington, DC police said the man broke into the restaurant located on Irving Street between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. on March 18.

The suspect was caught on surveillance cameras following a delivery man into the restaurant and waiting until the delivery man left, according to police.

Authorities said the man then rummaged through the restaurant, cooked food, and stole bottled water before leaving.

Police released the video hoping it would lead to tips of the man's identity.
