Two British tourists who broke into an Australian theme park and stole a penguin following a drunken night out have each been fined $1,030, according to reports.
Rhys Owen Jones, 21, and Keri Mules, 20, appeared before magistrates in Brisbane Wednesday and pleaded guilty to trespassing, stealing and keeping a protected animal, Australia’s Department of Justice said.
The two friends, from Wales, were arrested after breaking into Sea World on Queensland’s Gold Coast during an alcohol-fueled escapade on April 14.
They also swam with dolphins and let off a fire extinguisher in a shark enclosure, according to a BBC News report.
