Two men have been given a conditional discharge after admitting stealing a boat from Richmond Canoe Club.
Daniel Goddard, 25, of Bideford, Devon, and Thomas Connor, 21, of The Chase, Wallington, both admitted taking the boat from Landsdown Boat House on February 2 this year.
Both men pleaded guilty at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court on February 26 and were discharged conditionally for 12 months, ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £15 and costs of £50 to the Crown Prosecution Service.
Magistrates said the pair did not intend criminality but added it was a "stupid, drunken escapade".
