A mother was left feeling "violated and exposed" after she caught a workman rifling through her underwear drawer.
Ashley Blakey felt physically sick when she caught the workman going through her drawers on her in-house CCTV on May 5 last year. The Thirteen Housing workman had attended her home to fix an alarm, but Ashley left him alone when she had to travel to Newcastle for a job interview.
Whilst out, the 36-year-old received a notification from her CCTV camera alerting her that motion had been detected in her bedroom. It was then that she saw the workman raking through her underwear drawer and allegedly stealing items.
