Nighttime underwear thefts trigger warnings in Malaysia’s Johor
Residents have been urged to safeguard their laundry after surveillance footage caught the underwear thieves in action
Bukit Indah resident Jackson Chong raised the alarm on Friday by sharing surveillance footage on Facebook, as reported by Chinese-language newspaper China Press.
The videos, captured over several night, show the thieves in action along Jalan Indah.
In the first clip, a car is seen pulling up to a home in the dead of night. A man wearing glasses exits the vehicle and climbs over the outer fence, lingering on the front porch before climbing out again.
The homeowner later discovered that women’s undergarments left out to dry were missing.
The second video, taken at around 1am, shows a man with light brown hair scaling the fence of another residence and stealing panties left outdoors.
Several residents have reported similar incidents, with one individual noting that their undergarments had been stolen three times in recent months.
