They wanted potatoes: US Marines grabbed two Russians for entering their base

Two girlfriends Christina and Natasha from Samara was arrested in the United States because of infiltration of a military base. They face a prison term of up to six months, according to TC Shot.

Traveling by car (it's a great idea to drive around the USA when your country is actually at war. — Approx. EADaily ), young Russian women were traveling to San Diego and decided to have a bite at the nearest McDonald's with potatoes and burgers. The navigator built the shortest route, and the travelers, turning off the road, got to ... the Marine Corps military base Camp Pendleton. The diner was five kilometers away.

As a result, the girls were captured by American Marines. They were arrested, and the car was taken to a parking lot.

Now the travelers are in custody for the third day. Friends are trying to rescue them and collect money for lawyers.

According to local residents, tourists regularly "turn the wrong way" because of the navigator and end up in the hands of the military. All because of the strange territory: the checkpoint is further away than the entrance to the base.
