Panties preferred by perp, say suburban Detroit police

(CBS) SOUTHFIELD - Police say someone with a clear preference for women's underwear has been breaking into apartments in Southfield, Mich., to steal bras and panties.

Maybe it's just a lingerie model?

CBS Detroit reports that police have received four reports of similar thefts, all which occurred at the Hidden Valley Apartment Complex. The most recent incident occurred on Wednesday, March 27. Police say a woman called to report that her apartment had been broken into and her panty drawer was raided.

The woman told police there was jewelry and other valuables in the bedroom that were left untouched. Police noted, however, that the woman's TV and laptop were missing from the front room, CBS Detroit reported.

Police believe the suspect or suspects gained entry to the apartment through the sliding door wall, which was found open when the woman returned home.

According to investigators, this is the fourth similar home-invasion panty raid at the apartment complex, all on the first floor.

Anyone who may have information on these crimes is asked to contact Southfield police at 248-796-5500.
