One female resident told THE WEEKEND STAR that the freak stole about a dozen and a half panties from her clothes line. She recovered 12 from a bag he had in his possession on Tuesday.

“The man a travel wid a big fine bag full a woman draws weh him thief. A four a wi get back most a wi panty dem,” she stated.

The woman said that she has no intention of wearing the panties that have been recovered.
