Watch: Three tourists held for stealing road sign

Take note – story published 6 years ago

On the wee hours of April 9, one Frenchman and two Irishmen were held in Riga by the Municipal Police for demolishing and then taking off with a road sign, the police told the press.

The tipsy tourists were seen on Riga's numerous CCTV cameras in the process of taking down a road sign on the corner of Merķeļa and Krišjāņa Barona street, and then taking off to Vērmanes garden and hiding the sign at a public transportation stop when they realized the police are on to them.

They tried to deny they did it, but of course you can't argue against video recordings.
