San Francisco, Union Square bra bandit strikes Victoria Secret again
A man who San Francisco police call the “underwear burglar” made off with almost
$450 worth of bras and panties in his fifth alleged heist at the Victoria’s
Secret Pink store in Union Square on Tuesday. Anthony Robinson, 55, was
allegedly caught with 15 bras and four pairs of panties hidden under his clothes
at about 3:30 p.m. May 20. He had been booked into county jail in February on
suspicion of burglary, robbery, possession of drug paraphernalia and for
outstanding warrants after investigators said he committed three thefts inside
the store. But the brief stay in jail was apparently not enough to deter him,
and Police said Robinson returned to the store three more times — on April 25,
April 29 and May 12 — to steal more underwear. (Source
