More Brits arrested in Riga

Posted on July 24th, 2007 · 1 comment

The Baltic Times reports on two separate incidents which resulted in the arrest of British nationals over the weekend. In the first, two members of a stag party were arrested for possession of cocaine – a third was detained but released uncharged. In the second incident, a Scotsman climbed the steps of the Freedom Monument and gave everybody a chance to see that he was not wearing anything under his kilt:

“The man had lifted his kilt and was flapping it,” [police spokesman Aigars] Berzins said.

The Scotsman was taken to a police station and now faces an administrative fine of up to 70 euros or up to 15 days under administrative arrest.

Regrettably, it seems that the Freedom Monument is now a favourite spot for misbehaving Brits.
