KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) - A team of house burglars dubbed the "Underwear Gang" by Malaysian police has struck for the fifth time this year, local media reported.
The three-man gang, armed with bolt-cutters and screwdrivers but wearing only T-shirts and underpants, broke into a house in Malacca by prising open a sliding door, police spokesman Gemon Ishak told the New Straits Times.
The owner of the house, a 29-year-old woman, was awakened by the noise and went to investigate, surprising the scantily-clad burglars who bundled her and two maids into a room before fleeing with 30,000 ringgit (7,895 dollars) in cash and jewellery.
"The robbers were all dressed in black t-shirts and underpants while their faces were covered with a cloth," Gemon said.
"We believe the same gang is responsible for at least four house break-ins earlier this year."
Police offered no comment on why the gang operates in underpants, but one theory is that they believe a lack of outer clothing will make it harder for victims to describe them to police.

I suppose it depends on who, exactly, has no outer clothing on ;0)

After jockeying for attention on the main forum, now we've been moved to Chat. That was brief. I could see the threat looming, but now it has borne fruit. The Underwear Gang's not the only ones who have lost their threads.

This would make for an interesting police line up....... "Ok, everyone take off your pants and turn to the left"

Events like this led to the boxer rebellion.
