The pervert then went onto make lewd comments through a second woman's box, it has been reported.<\/p>\n
The incident happened around 2am when the women were disturbed by the man banging on their doors in Wordsworth Street, Hapton.<\/p>\n
According to the police, the man made sexually suggestive comments through their letterboxes after they refused to open the door to him, before stealing a pair of knickers from one of the washing lines.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the incident, councillor Joanne Greenwood, who represents the area on Burnley Council, said in an interview published by the Mirror: "It sounds laughable but I'm sure it was very frightening and not funny for the two women involved. It's really bizarre.<\/p>\n
"I'm sure when the police finally track down this guy, they will find he has issues because to steal underwear is just odd."<\/p>\n
As a result of the incident, police have stepped up patrols in the area in order to find the culprit.<\/p>\n
The man was wearing dark clothing, although a more detailed description is currently not available.<\/p>\n
Detective Sergeant Alisa Wilson, from Burnley CID, said that the incident left the two women shaken and distressed.<\/p>\n
She added: "I believe the man responsible may have been in the area for some time and I am appealing for anyone who may have seen him loitering to make contact with police.<\/p>\n
"Patrols have been increased in the area and inquiries are ongoing to identify the man."<\/p>\n
She has encouraged anyone who may have details about the man to get in touch.<\/p>\n
Councillor Jean Cunningham, who also represents Burnley Council advised residents to be extra vigilant and careful, particularly during the night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
