German police have caught a thief who stole six sacks of women's underwear off washing lines and sewed them on to life-sized dolls.

Police in Germany say they have caught a thief who had accumulated six sacks of used women's underwear in his apartment.

He had stolen them from garden washing-lines.

A police spokeswoman said on Friday that complaints about disappearing smalls and leggings in the eastern city of Erfurt had been coming in for a year.

The man, 31, had been sewing the stolen underwear on to life-sized dolls and other sex toys. He is expected to be charged with theft.
