GEORGE TOWN - Two men were literally caught with their pants down when police broke into a fitness centre at a shopping complex here.

The duo looked stunned when police stormed one of the rooms in the centre at Burmah Road during the 9pm incident on Thursday.

They were told to put on their clothes and taken to the police station for questioning along with nine other patrons. Police also seized used condoms, lubrication gel and nude photos of burly men.

Several raids have been carried out at the centre, which is known as a homosexual haunt, over the past few months.

George Town OCPD Azam Abdul Hamid, who confirmed the case, said police were concerned that such depravity was continuing despite the raids.

He urged the Penang Municipal Council to revoke the business licence of the operator.
