A West Midlands resident was left stunned after her doorstep milk bottles were stolen by a woman wearing only black underwear and flip-flops. The incident occurred at 5am in Bearwood, and the homeowner discovered the theft when she checked her doorbell camera footage.
Doorbell Camera Captures Theft
The footage shows a woman walking up the driveway at 5am, clad only in footwear, knickers, and a crop top. She brazenly swiped two milk bottles before making a swift getaway. The homeowner, a mother of two young children, posted the video on Facebook, where other locals reported similar missing milk deliveries.
The homeowner expressed frustration: "We were very frustrated to see it on our doorbell as have two young children, but you hope it's someone in such desperate need they resort to stealing. Why in her underwear we do not know! Makes us think twice about getting milk delivered as it has happened several times in our area recently."
