REDWOOD CITY – The wedding is back on.

On Wednesday, the Redwood City Police Department announced the recovery of a wedding dress that was stolen on April 11. A suspect was also collared in the case.

“The dress was located by a concerned citizen and has been returned to its rightful owner,” police said in a news release.

The suspect, identified as a 65-year-old Redwood City man, was arrested and booked into San Mateo County jail on a charge of grand theft, according to police.

Last week, police asked the public to help identify a man who was caught on camera taking packages from the front porch of a home in the 800 block of Adams Street.

One of the packages contained the dress, which was valued at $2,000, according to police.

“We received multiple tips from residents which led us to identify and arrest the suspect,” police said in the news release. “We appreciate everyone’s help in solving this crime.”
