Twerking Brooklyn burglar 'dropped it like it was hot' prior to theft

Dec. 12 (UPI) -- It appears that in order to get herself in the right mindset to steal, a Brooklyn burglar likes to channel her inner Miley and just start twerking.

Surveillance video of a stoop outside a Clinton Hill home captured a woman twerking for about an hour prior to helping a man steal the contents of two packages from inside building.

"The interesting part was what happened before the break-in, in which the woman proceeded to straight up twerk outside of our building,” said 27-year-old victim Lindsey Riddle. “For an entire hour. Rest breaks were had, but she got right back up and dropped it like it was hot, often times on the lap of the man."

Riddle filed a police report about the incident but she is still having a tough time processing what she saw on the surveillance footage.

"Her endurance was rather impressive," Riddle said. "I'm not exaggerating when I say she did this for an hour. A couple of my neighbors walked into the building and she'd stop momentarily and then start up hardcore as soon as their backs were to her."
