Police think man with bags of women's and girls' underwear and pornography in his hat is suspect

Police are seeking information regarding a 30-year-old Glendale, California, man who was allegedly in possession of more than a dozen pieces of women’s and girls’ underwear.

Detectives believe the man, Fernando Oureoles, stole underwear because he gave inconsistent statements when questioned about having the clothing, Glendale Police Sgt. Tom Lorenz said. Police are asking anyone who has noticed that some of their clothing and undergarments have gone missing to notify them. “He had several stories as to why he was in possession of these things,” Lorenz added.



Oureoles was arrested at about 2:30 a.m. on Sept. 12 on suspicion of possessing methamphetamine and receiving stolen property for the 14 pieces of women’s underwear, six bras, four pieces of children’s underwear, two women’s bathing suits, two children’s dolls, women’s clothing and 40 pages of magazine pornography. Officers stopped him when he was walking against a crosswalk and he told them he was headed to his cousin’s home, but couldn’t provide the address. He allegedly was sweaty and appeared nervous.

During a pat down, police found pornographic photos hidden inside his hat . When officers searched a backpack and two bags, which contained the underwear, they also found 3-foot bandage tape, hair conditioner, a knife and watch. He allegedly told police the women’s clothing and undergarments belonged to his girlfriend, but she told officers she “had no clue” who owned the items and didn’t know why Oureoles was walking around Glendale at that hour, Lorenz said. Officers discovered methamphetamine hidden in the tongue of his tennis shoes.
