Armpit Sniffer Jailed

Oh my God! I've heard everything now...

Micky Yoo Chun says SMELL MY ARMPIT

A Singaporean man with an armpit-sniffing fetish has been sentenced to 14 years in prison and 18 strokes of the cane.

Mohammed Ismail Ariffin, 36, was convicted of molesting 23 females ranging in age from nine to their 50s, The Straits Times reported today.

Community Court Judge James Leong imposed preventive detention, a jail term for prisoners with no chance of parole.

The court was earlier told Mohammed Ismail stalked his victims and followed them into lifts, staircase landings or their homes. In some cases, he restrained them.

He was also was guilty of fondling a 13-year-old and exposing himself to a 53-year- old cleaner, the court was told.

Following a report from a housewife that a man had smelled her armpit on January 3, police took a semen swab at the scene which led them to Mohammed Ismail.

Thong Bandits

Colorado police say two suspected robbers dubbed the "thong bandits", after they used women's underwear to disguise themselves, have been caught.

The two men used skimpy underwear as masks, but much of their faces remained visible in a CCTV tape broadcast across the US state.

Nineteen-year-old Joaquin Rico and his 24-year-old alleged accomplice, Joseph R Espinoza, both turned themselves in.

Police in Arvada say the men stole cash and cigarettes from a shop in May.

The two were unarmed but reportedly hit a shop assistant and injured her.

One man wore a green thong and the other wore blue. The garments barely covered the men's features, leaving most of their faces exposed. They stuffed stolen items into a pink rucksack.
