Darebin Police are appealing for residents in the Reservoir area who may have had items of underwear or activewear stolen in recent months to come forward.
Detectives charged a 34-year-old man last week at a home in Hickford Street, Reservoir, where they recovered more than 5,000 pieces of women’s underwear and exercise wear.
The man has been charged with 10 offences, including stalking, theft, weapons and trespass offences.
He has been remanded to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court today.
“Officers will continue to investigate the matter but wish to speak to anyone in the Reservoir area who may have had items of underwear or activewear stolen on 9479 6111,” Victoria Police said in a statement today.
