Shellsuits stolen

Thieves have stolen some of Ali G's trademark shellsuits in a raid on creator Sacha Baron Cohen's dressing room.

They broke into his trailer on the set of his new movie Ali G In Da House and grabbed thousands of pounds worth of stuff, including a TV set, video and DVD player.

An unnamed movie insider told today's Mirror: "It's irreplaceable stuff. Although whoever stole it isn't exactly going to be able to walk down the street unnoticed."

Security at the studios in Bray, Berkshire, has reportedly been stepped up since the raid.

The film, due out next year, sees Ali elected as MP for his home town of Staines.
