The Brisbane Underpants Snatcher

Word of caution to all my Brisbane readers, watch your underpants:

DETECTIVES are baffled by a brazen daylight attack at Newmarket, in Brisbane’s inner north on Monday, in which a woman had her underpants ripped off and bag stolen.

"It’s pretty strange. I haven’t heard anything like it before," Det-Sen-Sgt Brad Rix said.

He said the 23-year-old was grabbed from behind as she walked home from Newmarket train station about 4.30pm (AEST).

The offender then lifted her dress up, and pulled off her underpants before grabbing her bag and taking off. [Courier Mail]

I can only imagine how this thief pulled this off but this is definitely the weirdest purse snatching I have ever heard of.
