Police recover 30 pairs of knickers

More than 30 pairs of women's knickers have been recovered by Derbyshire police.

Officers believe they may have been stolen from homes in Ashbourne and the surrounding area.

A 24-year-old man has been arrested, questioned and released on bail while officers make further enquiries.

Police are appealing for help in identifying the items recovered. They would not reveal where the knickers were found but said it was an address outside Derbyshire.

PC Nick Bettney said: "We realise that some victims may be embarrassed by the situation but I can assure them that we are treating the matter very seriously and sensitively. We will do our best to arrange an interview with a female member of staff if that is required."

Anyone who has had underwear stolen in the last six months should contact Ashbourne police on 0845 123 3333.
