Two unsuspecting thieves have been caught on CCTV allegedly attempting to break into a family home before one of them disgustingly urinates in the family swimming pool.

Footage of the alleged perpetrators was uploaded to Facebook by Bronwyn Longley from Cairns in Queensland, who's parent's house was targeted, on Monday about 1.37am.

'Absolutely putrid! Two so called ''adults'' successfully broke into my parents home, but before they did, one of them decided to urinate in the pool,' she wrote.

'This is Cairns if anyone here recognises these disgusting beings, let me know.'

The mother-of-two said police have been informed of the putrid act and is asking for help from locals to identify the pair.

She said most members of her family, including kids swim in the pool.

Ms Longley told Seven News that her cousin was in the room next door when the alleged thieves broke into the house.

'They cut a hole through the backdoor screen which was located next to the room he was sleeping in, so he is quite shaken up,' she said.

'They walked through the house, mainly to the main bedroom. We know because they left mud tracks all through the house.'

Despite breaking in, Ms Longley said it was strange the pair did not steal anything, except for a bottle of Sprite.

However, they did rummage through several boxes strewn around the house.

Queensland Police confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that a 19-year-old male from Manoora was arrested and charged.

'The alleged 19-year-old thief was charged with five offences – three burglary, enter a dwelling at night, and enter a dwelling with intent,' the spokeswoman said.

'He will appear in Cairns Magistrate Court on May 10.'

The other alleged thief, who is also 19-years-old, is yet to be caught.
