This is the creepy moment a postman was caught on a doorbell camera ‘sniffing a girl’s shoes.’
In the shocking footage the postman can be seen outside a flat shuffling through letters before posting them through the letterbox.
The mundane video of a postie going about his day-to-day job then takes a bizarre turn when he pauses by a shoe rack outside an apartment.
He then proceeds to bend down and pick up a white trainer which he appears to sniff before leaving the area.
The incident happened at 11.25am yesterday at an address on Balnagask Circle in the Torry area of South Aberdeen, Scotland.
