VIRGINIA BEACH -- Police say a teenager on a bicycle made off with a haul of plus-sized women’s lingerie from a Virginia Beach store Monday.
But his getaway was brief, after police nabbed the alleged underwear thief within minutes of the robbery.
Shortly after a call came in from a burglar alarm at a women's clothing store in the Landstown Commons complex, police found the suspect on a bike carrying the loot. Video: Underwear thief nabbed minutes after smash and grab robbery
Crews replaced the broken storefront glass at the Lane Bryant store and got them back in business after Monday's break-in.
"I can't believe this. I wonder if he found his size?" asked one store customer.
Police got the call that the alarm went off and as soon as they entered the shopping center, they knew they had this case in the bag.
“As officers were coming on the scene they saw a white male on a bicycle rushing from the scene. We detained him,” said police spokeswoman Margie Long.
The haul included plus-sized panties and bras, and lots of them. The suspect allegedly stole thousands of dollars worth of lingerie from the store which caters to larger women.
"Gimme a break! The guy needs help. Something is wrong with him if he's breaking in a store like this," said customer Vicki Schiano.
Police arrested 18-year old Adam Zysk, who lives near Honey Bee Golf Course. Officers say they don't know why Zysk lifted the lingerie, but the teen is behind bars for something one Lane Bryant customer says just doesn't make any sense.
"Things are tough all over. We don't need to do things like that, we need to support each other and help each other," said Schiano.
At least you can’t say that perps in VA Beach don’t think BIG! *groan*
He was probably going to go home and roll around naked in the pile of XXL lingerie.
That's what I'd do.

Maybe he wanted to do a cross-dressing gig on “Dance Your Ass Off”?
Seriously...who steals Lane Bryant undies? Did he need him for himself, or for his girlfriend?
The cops got to the bottom of it by following the cuplrit’s trail of skidmarks.
