A CHEF who stole women’s underwear at night has had his sentencing adjourned.

Luke Wicker, of Whitby Close, Biggin Hill, had pleaded guilty at Bromley Magistrates’ Court to four counts of theft from June 1 to June 11.

The court was told Wicker, aged 20, stole the clothes from the back garden at a house in Melody Road, Biggin Hill, by jumping over the fence during the early hours of the morning when he was on his way back from work.

After his arrest, 65 items of clothing were found hidden down the side of his bed.

Wicker, who claims he stole the underwear to combat depression, was due to be sentenced today but the case has been adjourned until July 30 for further reports.
