Alleged underwear thief breaks into California sorority, watches women shower

A real-life nightmare crept into a sorority house near UC Berkeley over Halloween weekend: a man in a ski mask who authorities said slipped through bedrooms and lurked in showers in the dead of night.

One woman was jolted awake by a dark figure near her bed, according to Berkeley Police Officer Byron White. Another was in the shower when she was targeted by a Peeping Tom, police said.

Authorities said the terrifying events unfolded from around 3 to 6:35 a.m. on Nov. 1, hours after much of the campus had been busy celebrating Halloween. The intruder then left the scene of the break-in with stolen underwear and pizza, White said.

Officers recently arrested 45-year-old Courtney Alford of Dublin in connection with the sorority house break-in, according to the Berkeley Police Department. When they searched the suspect’s home, they found assault rifle parts, high-capacity ammunition magazines and more than 900 rounds of ammunition.
