CCTV footage captures a bizarre moment a burglar breaks into an Oregon gas station, attempts to throw a Molotov cocktail, sets himself on fire, fights a K9, then gives up.

Police officers responded to a burglary call at the Space Age Fuel gas station on Grandview Drive, located at the north side of Bend, Oregon, on June 6, 2025, around 4:15 a.m. The call was made by Space Age Fuel owner, Danny Johal, who was watching the store via surveillance footage.
