Army hunting 'Donkey Dong'
AUSTRALIAN military police are hunting for a well endowed serial flasher nicknamed "Donkey Dong" who is terrorising underwear salespeople.
The supposedly well-endowed flasher, who wears army uniform, has been labelled "Donkey Dong" by some city retailers.
Several clothing and sporting retail outlets in the Mitchell Centre have been targeted over the past six months by the unidentified pervert, who calls shop assistants into the change room to see if his tight underwear "fits".
MPs have obtained surveillance footage from several businesses to see if they can determine the identity of the culprit or rule out that he belongs to the military.
The most recent retail outlet to be targeted by the mysterious flasher received a visit on Valentine's Day.
"I thought it was one of my mates having a joke on me because we sometimes send each other fat-o-grams or something on Valentine's Day when he called me in to the changing room and I saw it," the shop assistant said.
"He has been in here four times and apparently he always tries on the same pair of red undies. I didn't really know what to say when he asked me if I thought they fitted him.
"It looks real and it's so big, it winds all the way down his leg and I wasn't sure what to do so I just went and got him a bigger pair.
"He got really nervous and was peeking out from the curtain.
"We call him Donkey Dong in here. He never buys anything and walks out saying that everything in the shop is too small for him."
Another favourite form of clothing for the serial flasher is bicycle pants, which reveal him in all his glory.
One retailer who outfitted the man with a pair of bicycle pants recently said he revealed himself to her. After getting a good look, she believes the serial flasher may be using a stocking to fake his credentials.
"It fell out of his pants and he said, `That's so embarrassing, it happens all the time'," she said.
A Department of Defence spokesman yesterday confirmed military police have spoken to retailers and are analysing surveillance footage to try to identify the man.
