Man arrested after stolen car mirrors were allegedly found down his pants

A 39-year-old man has been arrested in north Adelaide, Australia, after stealing two mirrors from a car and putting them "down his pants", police allege.



South Australian officers said the accused was arrested in Salisbury East at about 2:30am on Monday. "Police were conducting patrols when they stopped and spoke to a man walking along the road," a statement said.

"The man was searched with police locating two [Holden] Torana wing mirrors down his pants along with a screwdriver and allen-key set. A patrol searched the local area and discovered that the mirrors had been stolen from a nearby car."



The man from Salisbury East has been granted bail and will appear in Elizabeth Magistrates Court next month.
