Woman “sickened” over tradie’s gross act caught on CCTV

CCTV inside a Brisbane woman’s home has captured the shocking moment a plumber was snooping through her bedroom, and the “sickening” act he committed.

The plumber, who was recommended by the woman’s friend, was called in to fix the bathroom’s toilet and shower.

But when the woman checked her security cameras, she found out that instead of doing his job, he was up to no good.

Footage shows the man in the woman’s bedroom, allegedly going through her drawers, before heading to the kitchen and taking utensils from there.

The plumber then allegedly used a wooden rolling pin to fix the toilet before putting the dirty utensil back, unwashed.

"I'm really upset by this… how many other people has he done this to?" she told 9News.

"I'm sickened by him using my utensils on my toilet," she said.

The woman also said that the lack of hygiene could make someone “desperately ill” and that she’s mostly “sickened about the cleanliness issues”.

The distressed homeowner also alleged that a pair of earrings located near her bedside table also went missing after the incident.

“It’s so personal, your bedroom drawers are so personal and there’s a camera like half a metre from his face,” she said.

The incident has since been reported and the tradie, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has appeared at Brisbane Magistrates Court.
