Cops Bust 4 With Looting Costa Concordia

It seems that there's no rest for the wreckage of the recently raised Costa Concordia: Italian police busted four divers employed by Titan, the group tasked with salvaging the cruiseship, and will be charging them with looting, reports Sky News. The men were spotted via CCTV on the eighth deck—which was purely coincidentally home to executive staterooms containing safes—and police responding found them, as a police spokeswoman puts it: "red-handed," holding a "a rucksack with the Costa Concordia emblem on it." Not helping their cause: It was 1:30 in the morning, "when no salvage operation was ongoing."

But at least the quartet's intentions were, er, pure? As per another police source: "The men said they were just looking for a few souvenirs and that they had no intention of taking anything personal, expensive, or that would be of use to the investigation." No dice: Titan confirms that four men have been dismissed. They're free on bail, and will head to court at a later date. (More Costa Concordia stories.)
