A person dressed as a Minion has been causing a bit of mischief in the Western Australian town of Kalgoorlie -- he's accused of stealing bits of grass from a man's front yard.

Brad Nicklin told WA Todayhe was sitting on his porch when he noticed a patch of grass missing from his front lawn.

"I noticed it was done with a shovel, not an animal, so I went through the [home security] cameras," he told the newspaper.

Lo and behold, a pesky Minion was caught on camera, red handed.

The Minion, or at least the person inside of it, can be seen hopping up and down to dig up a hole with a shovel.

Nicklin said the footage was hilarious, although he has no idea who is behind it all. But he wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be a prank from a friend.

Then a Facebook profile of someone named Carl Minion started tagging Nicklin, with a profile picture of the person holding a shovel and the patch of grass that went missing. Sickening.

It turns out this page is full of taunts. The latest post on the Minion's Facebook profile has a video of it watering some patches of grass.

The unnamed Minion has been contacted for comment.
