A hapless burglar broke into a garage through a window - unaware the building had no door and he could have just walked in.

The bungle, which also saw the burglar leave empty handed, was captured on CCTV.

The amusing clip shows a man approaching a property with no one else around.

He then examines the property for an entry point.

But he doesn't appear to realise the front of the garage is open around the corner just metres away.

The man exerts his strength as he attempts to remove a board blocking the window in his bid to get inside the building.

Meanwhile, the angle of the CCTV means the viewer can clearly see how pointless the man's efforts are.

Once inside the garage, he walks back through the front "door" area where there are no doors and realises his mistake.

It is unknown where the incident occurred.
