The unidentified shop owner showed the footage to reporters to warn other shops of burglars who wear various disguises in a bid to escape the long arm of the law.
In this case, he said, the burglar had dressed as a woman, wearing a long wig and a two-piece swimsuit.
The clip shows the scantily clad intruder climbing over a chain-link fence into the compound at the back of the shop at about 6pm Monday.
The man managed to prise open a door and windows but his entry was blocked by iron grills.
He inadvertently paraded in front of the camera for several minutes before climbing back out of the compound empty-handed.
