Coach driver set fire to Germans' towels for 'bagging' all the sunbeds

A coach driver became so fed up with German tourists bagging every sunbed that he set fire to all their towels.

Glyn Bowden, 55, was locked up by police in Italy after his early morning raid.

Mr Bowden was coach driver for a party of 55 British holidaymakers at Viana Marina near San Remo on the Italian Riviera.

He told yesterday how the German tourists put their towels on the best sunbeds on the private beach and by a nearby pool.

He twice took the towels away and left them on the side of the pool - but on the third day set fire to them.

Mr Bowden spent two hours in the cells at a local police station before hotel bosses persuaded officers to release him without charge.
