A mother has been left horrified after security camera footage from her backyard captured a stranger jump over her fence and sniff underwear hanging on her clothesline.
Oksana Panich, from Mandurah, Western Australia, was watching a movie with her 11-year-old son and was oblivious to the trespasser, WA Today reports.
'It's the most disgusting thing I've seen,' Ms Panich said, describing the intruder as 'psychopathic'.
Ms Panich only checked the security footage after noticing a packet of cigarettes were missing.
The offender can be seen skulking around the woman's suburban backyard around 7.20pm on May 5 before taking a long whiff of her unmentionables.
Wearing a white hat, shirt and trousers the male trespasser approaches the clothesline and presses Ms Panich's undergarments to his face for several moments.
The panty sniffer then heads towards the camera and appears to pause with his face in clear sight.
Ms Panich took to Facebook to warn other women about a potential panty-sniffing intruder who may be stalking the streets of Mandurah.
'Please be aware there is a intruder sneaking around backyards,' she wrote.
'He likes to sniff women's panties and steal cigarettes. If you recognise this creep please forward a name so he can be reported to police.'
Ms Panich reported the incident to WA Police who are investigating.
