A burglar has helped himself to hundreds of dollars worth of meat, some cash - and a Milo when breaking into a Melbourne butcher shop.
According to the Eyewatch - Frankston Police Service Area Facebook page, the man entered Marshall's Quality Meats in Langwarrin on the evening of April 5.
Once inside the store, he cooked and smoked a variety of meat and stole about $410 in cash.

Manager of the shop Scott Little told 3AW when he arrived the following morning everything was a mess.
He assumed his boss had let himself in to do some work and a spot of cooking.
"There was a frying pan with food and I thought 'oh, he's having a bit of a cook up," he told Neil Mitchell.
Mr Little said he quickly realised a stranger had come in and decided to play chef.
"Then I realised some funny bugger has decided to jump in the shop and play butcher."

"He jumped the counter and started marinating some meat, he chucked some stuff in the smoker and decided to try and smoke some meat," Mr Little said.
"He just made himself at home.
"He even made himself a Milo."
While the man helped himself to some decent cuts, Mr Little said thankfully it wasn't anything worth too much.
"He cooked up some porterhouse, some pork cutlets, he tried to smoke some beef ribs ... put some mignons into the oven," Mr Little said.
