Thieves steal £2,500 worth of knickers

Police in Texas are on the hunt for a team of knicker nickers who nabbed £2,500 worth of pants.

The gang, two men and a woman, are understood to have grabbed over 225 pairs of panties from a Victoria's Secret store.

100 pairs of knickers selling at $14 were taken, along with 125 retailing for $16. Previous models for Victoria's Secret include Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks.

Police say the team removed the undies (not like that) from drawers at the front of the store before making a run for it.  

Officers are still investigating ... though why they need to spend so long flicking through the Victoria's Secret catalogue is not yet known.
