GLENDALE, Ariz. — A purported "Thong Thief" who snatched up $14,000 worth of women's underwear was arrested earlier this month, the Glendale Police Department announced on social media.
The department posted a video covering the clothing caper on X (formerly known as Twitter) Friday morning.
The suspect, Leticia Martinez Perez, is accused of walking into a Victoria's Secret store and stealing articles of clothing to later sell for profit. Perez reportedly did this eight separate times.
Security footage from multiple incidents was shown in the video, alongside video of the arrest and audio of Perez allegedly admitting to the thefts.
"No more panty proceeds for her," the department said in the post.
