Two young men face charges of
theft and dangerous navigation on Venice's Grand Canal after a
missing gondola was discovered drifting with two people on
board, police said Friday.
Two men, described as drunk, were discovered in the
drifting gondola at about 3 a.m. by police and later learned
that a similar Venetian boat was missing.
A 23-year-old man from Pordenone and a 24-year-old from
Lecce province were arrested.
The gondola had apparently drifted from its moorings in
Venice's San Toma district before the young men found it, said
police, who added they returned the water craft.
