Eight British soldiers sent home after stripping in bar
-
LONDON - EIGHT British soldiers have been forced to return home from Norway after they reportedly stripped naked and urinated on each other in a bar during an Arctic training exercise, the defence ministry confirmed on Tuesday.
'It's being taken extremely seriously,' a spokesman for the defence ministry in London said.
He continued: 'We can confirm that eight soldiers from 59 Commando Regiment Royal Engineers were arrested by the Norwegian police following inappropriate behaviour.
'All eight soldiers have been released, having paid a fine. The soldiers were in Norway on exercises and have now returned to the UK.
'The unit will consider internal disciplinary action against the soldiers regarding this incident.'
The Daily Mail newspaper reported on Tuesday, citing local media reports, that the men had carried out their antics on Feb 27 at the Sfinx Bar in the town of Harstad.
They were arrested by local police later in the evening.
'They were drunk and there was a problem in the bar, but we are quite used to dealing with British soldiers like this,' Harstad police spokesman Gair Pederson was quoted by the Daily Mail as saying. -- AFP
