Four individuals were arrested following viral videos of them opening bottles of beverage from a store shelf and drinking from them before placing them back at a supermarket in Kuala Belait, the Royal Brunei Police Force (RBPF) said in a statement on Thursday.
An investigation was launched following the two videos circulating on social media, the RBPF said.
