Police dusting for crime scene fingerprints rarely encounter so much cheek.

Officers investigated a robbery at a community hall in Wodonga, in south-east Australia, at the weekend.

Instead of fingerprints, police found the offenders had left a bare bottom mark on a glass door.

Sergeant Shane Martin, from Victoria Police, told The Age newspaper he had never seen anything like it.

"They're having a joke, or they're actually trying to lean up against the door to break in, but I don't know why they'd do it pantsless," he said.

The intruders set off a fire extinguisher before stealing a television.

Police are looking for three people spotted in a black car near the scene.

Wodonga is a town about 300km (180 miles) north-east of Melbourne.
