Five men swimming naked in a reservoir in Guangzhou's suburban area were stranded in the water for more than two hours after all their clothes were stolen on Sunday.

Ming and four of his friends went to Jinzhong Reservoir to swim.

When they finished, they found all their clothes, which they had left on the shore with their mobile phones, wallets and other property, had been stolen.

Ming then had to use leaves to cover his body and borrowed a mobile phone from a fruit grower working nearby to report the matter to police.

They were rescued more than two hours later.
