A group of Royal Navy sailors have been arrested on suspicion of stealing laptops and iPads from a duty free shop on an American base in Bahrain, it has emerged.
The sailors are suspected of using security alarm proof bags to snag the items from the Main Navy Exchange store, The Sun reported. The group of around seven servicemen then allegedly sold the stolen goods to others at half the retail price.
Some of the sailors were arrested by 'American armed military police' in January, a source has claimed. Others were reportedly marched off of the HMS Middleton in handcuffs following a joint investigation by the UK and US.
A Royal Navy spokesperson told MailOnline it is aware of the alleged incident, which is currently 'under investigation'.
Last week, three Royal Navy sailors deployed in the Netherlands on the HMS Prince of Wales were arrested for being drunk and disorderly.
