A 40-year-old man was caught on film stealing panties from a drying rack in a garden in Falkenberg. The police managed to identify the man and found in his home a large amount of images and videos of child abuse, reports SVT Nyheter Halland.
The incident occurred in the summer of 2023, when a woman had hung underwear to dry outside. Through a surveillance camera, the man is seen entering the garden and putting on panties from the drying wind.
Thanks to the surveillance video, the police later managed to establish the identity of the faith thief and raid his residence. The man is previously convicted of child pornography offenses and in his home were found over 5,000 images and videos of child abuse.
The man is now sentenced to one year and two months in prison for both the theft of the underwear and for gross child pornography.
