Man takes out 6 masts with army tank | ||
Australia | Created: 14 Jul 2007 | |
Police are continuing to question a man who allegedly used a restored army tank to go on a rampage through Sydney's western suburbs overnight. Police say the tank was used to destroy six mobile phone towers in a number of suburbs, including Mt Druitt, Emerton and Plumpton. An electricity sub-station at Minchinbury was also destroyed. Police Chief Inspector Guy Haberley says the driver was finally stopped when his tank stalled as he was driving towards another mobile phone tower. "[It was] certainly unusual, however the best thing was that no public were significantly put into any danger," he said. "The incident occurred between 2:00am and 3:35am, there was limited traffic on the roads and police patrolled it well and managed to avoid any damage to any public or to police." |
