According to the police investigation, the 34-year-old Tseng is from Pingtung County, and previously worked as a temporary employee at Southern Taiwan Science Park, but is currently unemployed. He rents a room in a dormitory on Renai Road in Hsinshih. During the interrogation, Tseng said that he started stealing panties to console himself because his girlfriend abandoned him.
In September, when the two female students Liu and Lin, who live on the fourth floor of the same building, started having their underwear stolen, they upgraded the lock on their door, but still had their underwear stolen three more times. They then tried to think of a way to catch the perpetrator, reported the matter to the local police precinct, and requested that they install an online alarm bell, which was installed in mid-November. The two girls were at school when they were notified that the suspect was caught breaking into their room while they were out.
