A 20-year-old man has been arrested for disposing of hundreds of plastic bottles in the Ktsia River in the Kvemo Kartli region.
Footage of the man’s act was spread on social media earlier today.
Law enforcers were soon able to identify the offender and arrested him in Bolnisi,” says the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Journalists who arrived at the spot found the river cleaned but dozens of bottles remained on the embankment.
The man threw the bottles into the river to film a video, then cleaned the river and took the bottles with him by car, locals say.
The crime is punishable by up to one year of imprisonment.
