HOLMES BEACH, Fla., Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Police in Florida said a 62-year-old man was arrested after his 23-year-old neighbor accused him of stealing her underwear.

The Holmes Beach Police Department said the woman reported 23 pairs of her panties had disappeared in the past few years and her 21-year-old sister reported 16 pairs of thong panties missing, The Bradenton (Fla.) Herald reported Wednesday.

Police said the home of neighbor Ernest Kendler, 62, was searched after the 23-year-old woman reported catching him in her home going through dresser drawers in her sister's bedroom. Officers discovered two pairs of panties the woman identified as belonging to her.

Investigators said the panties were being tested for DNA to confirm they belong to the woman.

Kendler was arrested on suspicion of theft and was released after posting $10,000 bond Monday. Mark Lipinski, Kendler's lawyer, said his client "looks forward to confronting and discrediting this evidence in court."
