A tourist who tried to take an Italian marble artefact from a Roman column on the back of his electric scooter has told police he was just looking for a souvenir from his holiday.
Police in Rome say they apprehended the 24-year-old from Munich, Germany, as he drove his Lime scooter down one of the city’s busiest streets in the middle of the day. The 30kg marble base was resting on the scooter’s footplate.
