It is a complete sentence as it is. If you want to get rid of the clause equivalent, you can say: After they [had] changed clothes, they locked me in a room. It is also possible that the author of the sentence has a poor knowledge of participial constructions and really means: After I had changed clothes, they locked me in a room.
