A Hamilton man who was once jailed for stealing women's underwear is now facing charges of child luring, and police believe there may be more victims out there.

In a news release, police said the child exploitation unit started an investigation into a man using social media to lure a young person.

On Jan. 26, officers carried out a search warrant at a Hamilton residence.

Alexander Dzonov, 25, was arrested and charged with luring a child under the age of 16 to facilitate the offence of sexual interference. He was also charged with breaching a probation order.

According to The Hamilton Spectator, Dzonov was sentenced to 11 months in jail with credit for two years of pretrial custody for a break-in spree in the city in 2014.

Dzonov stole over $200,000 of jewelry, family heirlooms and electronics — but it was the 150 pairs of missing women's underwear that tipped off police that they were dealing with one suspect at the time.

Police say they believe there may be more victims associated with Dzonov's luring charge.
