A newlywed couple are behind bars in the US - for allegedly shoplifting food and drink for their wedding reception.Arthur Phillips III, 32, and his bride Brittany Lurch, 22, were arrested for stealing £600 worth of goods from a supermarket in State College, Pennsylvania.

Patton Township police say the couple were captured on CCTV loading a trolley and leaving without paying, reports the the Centre Daily Times.

The couple said they had been married two days earlier and took the goods for their wedding reception that afternoon, police reported.
