Three drunks fined for wandering through Den Bosch with Hitler mustaches and swastikas

The police in Den Bosch fined three drunk men early Saturday morning for walking around the city center with Hitler mustaches drawn under their noses and swastikas on their faces. The giggling trio told the police they had been at a dress-up party, but the cops were less than amused, local media reported.

According to Brabants Dagblad, two community police officers spotted the men on the Sint Janssingel on the edge of the Den Bosch city center during the early hours of Saturday morning. They had drawn several “offensive symbols” on their faces, the police told the newspaper. “Unfortunately one of them was a swastika.”

The cops instructed the trio, three Polish men who live in Bodegraven, to wash their faces on the spot, Omroep Brabant reports. The cops then gave them each a 400 euro fine before dropping them off at the train station to head home.
