Just one day after her wedding, a woman's wedding dress, makeup and other clothing were stolen from her bag at the terminal four carousels at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

Phoenix police report that on September 20, they made contact with 29-year-old Duane Michael Altman and Amber Lynn Burros, 26, on an unrelated matter and saw them with a large suitcase, with a white wedding dress and a pink flamingo pool toy.

It was later reported that a bag was stolen from the terminal four carousel at Sky Harbor. The victim said that she had just gotten married the day before, she told police her wedding dress, makeup, other dresses from the wedding, and a pink flamingo pool toy were all in her bag.

An officer recalled seeing the pool toy when questioning Altman and Burros. They were located and arrested by police near 32nd Street and Greenway Road on September 29.

Police say several of the stolen items were put up for sale online. Both have been charged with burglary, theft, and trafficking in stolen property.
