BUKIT MERTAJAM, Malaysia: Three men, said to be into bridal costume thefts in Central Seberang Prai and South Seberang Prai, have been arrested at a house in Taman Perwira, Permatang Tinggi, here.

The trio, in their 30s, are believed to be from a gang that targets bridal gown rental shops. They also steal cosmetics and hairstyling accessories in the past few months.

Sources said the men were nabbed on Friday by a police team following a tip-off. Items, including the gowns and suits, cosmetics, musical instruments, a laptop, 42 Arowanas and a car with false registration number plates were seized.

A three-day remand order has since been obtained from court. -The Star/ANN
