Two men were arrested after a wedding gift box was stolen at a Glendale banquet hall. A video showed a man in a black suit taking the couple's gift box during their 300-guest wedding, and security cameras captured clear images of his uncovered face. Tips from the footage helped investigators identify and arrest Armean Shirehjini five days after the wedding, and police identified the getaway driver as Andranik Avetisyan. Officers recovered 26 checks and about $10,000 in cash from a safe at a suspect's home, and police executed search warrants on both suspects' homes. The bride sobbed on the dance floor.
