A Lancashire town mayor, Ian Stafford, has admitted stealing women's underwear after being caught in the act on camera.

Footage showed Stafford, 59, walking into a woman's bedroom and searching through her drawers before selecting a pair of knickers to take home and wear.

The two-term mayor of Preesall and Knott End then performed a sexual act before leaving the building.

Police later found a collection of underwear, identical to the items reported stolen, at his home.

The woman who made the recording was one of three Stafford targeted between January 1 and June 26 last year.

After noticing that some of her underwear had disappeared she decided to install the hidden camera.

Stafford has now resigned his position as Mayor.
