Police in the city of Graz, Styria State, Austria, had reportedly searched for the 24-year-old man – identity not disclosed – for weeks before they finally caught him on Tuesday morning, 19th July.
His actions were reportedly first reported at the beginning of June this year, when cops at the Wienerstrasse Street station received several reports from women that their bikinis were missing.
Wienerstrasse Police inspectors along with their colleagues from the Styrian Criminal Police office then carried out detailed investigations that led them to the offender’s home.
And they were stunned to discover the massive stash of underwear and bras he had collected by breaching into private people’s gardens and taking them from drying racks.
State Police Headquarters Styria said in a statement obtained by Newsflash: “The public prosecutor’s office in Graz then ordered a court-approved search of the man’s house.
