Inchworm Bandits are an infamous group of robbers who were in the news following the burglary of a Texas restaurant named Piggy's Kitchen & Bar in November 2018.

Security camera footage revealed three people sneaking into the kitchen of the restaurant, evidently looking to dodge the CCTV.

The video shows the trio crawling, one behind the other, from the dining room into the kitchen. All three were wearing hoodies and trying to hide their faces.

The group allegedly smashed the front window before making their way into the restaurant. They reportedly stole $450 of tip money that was to be paid to the servers of the restaurant who worked during the weekend. The total damage caused is estimated to be around $2,000.

According to Inside Edition, the staff of the restaurant nicknamed the gang Inchworm Bandits, referring to their MO.

Piggy's Kitchen & Bar, located in the city of Houston, Texas, was reportedly burglarized three times. However, managers at the restaurant said the burglary was carried out quite differently on the previous two occasions. The last time, the perpetrators used a sledgehammer and crowbar to steal some tequila from the restaurant.
