A young couple have been detained for allegedly stealing clothes from dozens of Chinese stores of popular Japanese apparel retailer Uniqlo and selling them at a discount to fund their travels, the newspaper Modern Express reported on Wednesday.
The couple, both in their 20s, confessed that they targeted Uniqlo – the best selling brand for women’s clothing for years in e-commerce site Tmall’s Singles’ Day shopping festival – because they found its stores in China were usually large and lacked sufficient security personnel, it stated. (Tmall is operated by Alibaba, owner of the South China Morning Post.)
