Liam Payne underwear thieves break silence: "It was terrifying"

The girls who stole underwear from One Direction star Liam Payne have spoken publicly about their heist.

As previously reported, the singer took to Twitter recently to express his dismay after someone nabbed a pair of drying boxers from his hotel balcony.

The Australian Telegraph have now reported that the culprits were two female fans, aged 14 and 13.

One told the newspaper: "It was terrifying. [The pair of boxers] were on the balcony, then I heard someone say, 'hello', and so I jumped the fence. Liam seemed really confused. He didn’t say anything to us directly, he just said, 'hey' and looked at us then we legged it."

The other underwear thief said: "I don’t want to get in trouble. I called my mum and she told me that I probably shouldn’t have done it and it was a bad idea because it is against the law. But she doesn’t seem too worried. None of my friends will care. Liam seems really angry."

Pictures show the girls giving the red Calvin Klein boxers back to the band's security, whilst police have confirmed that no action will be taken.

One Direction meanwhile are currently down under as they bring their Take Me Home tour to Australia and New Zealand.
