A school teacher has been arrested for stealing hundreds of women’s undergarments, according to Busan Police on Thursday.

The suspect, a man in his 30s surnamed Kang, allegedly trespassed in 15 residences in Busan. He was caught in the southeastern port city with 192 stolen underthings.

A police search of Kang’s home in North Gyeongsang Province led to the confiscation of several hundred more pairs of panties and brassieres, which were apparently stolen from homes in that area, bringing the total to 743.

Kang, who teaches at an elementary school in the province, told police he committed the crimes “out of curiosity.”
