Security cameras set up inside a Brisbane woman’s home captured the shocking moment a tradesman snooped through her bedroom drawers before doing a “sickening” act with her kitchen utensils.
A plumber, who was recommended by the homeowner’s friend, attended the house to fix the bathroom’s toilet and shower.
While it’snot known if the woman was home at the time, it’s understood she quickly came to the realisation the tradie was up to no good after checking CCTV footage.
Footage shows the man in the woman’s bedroom, appearing to go through her drawers before another angle shows him rummaging through the kitchen.
The plumber then grabs a wooden rolling pin from a drawer before taking it to the bathroom, where he allegedly uses it to fix the toilet before putting it back where he found it.
The incident was reported to Queensland Police and the tradesman was charged with entering a dwelling and committing an indictable offence.
“On March 1, between 9.15am and 9.45am, the 50-year-old Chermside West man attended a Milton unit lawfully to conduct maintenance,” Queensland Police said in a statement.
“Police will allege the 50-year-old, while already in the unit, stole a pair of earrings.”
The man was issued a Notice to Appear for “enter a dwelling and commit indictable offence”.
The tradie, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has since appeared at Brisbane Magistrates Court with his case adjourned until May 3.
