Children in the Russian Ural town of Ozyorsk were apprehended by police after constructing a makeshift raft out of some 300 plastic bottles and tried to set sail in it.

The children decorated the boat with a recognisable green and red stripe, calling the vessel 'Gucci'.

Police get their camera phones out and attempt to suppress laughter as they apprehend the teens. "What a beauty!" one can be overheard saying.

Police let the teenagers go free after reminding htem not to swim without adult supervision, the Govorit Ozyorsk community stated on Russian social media.

The footage was filmed on July 28.
