A British tourist caught leaving Pompeii with a backpack of stones is facing a large fine from the Italian authorities.

 

The 51-year-old Scottish man was discovered with six stolen fragments – five stones and a brick– illegally collected from the ancient Roman archaeological site.

 

He was reported after being spotted “picking up pieces of pavement” by a guide who alerted Italian law enforcement during an evening tour.

 

Carabinieri officers found the man outside the Pompeii excavation site near the Villa dei Misteri EAV station, a spokesperson said on Thursday (14 August).
