Two soldiers were arrested after a “tank” was allegedly stolen from a British Army base in southern England and driven through a narrow access road, damaging several parked vehicles.
Footage published by The Sun appeared to show a 15-ton Bulldog armored personnel carrier traveling along a narrow access road after striking a parked van and SUV at about 1 a.m. Friday.
The newspaper, citing unnamed sources, reported the soldiers had been drinking off base before returning to Tidworth Camp, a British Army garrison in Wiltshire, and allegedly taking the vehicle for a joyride.
The Army said the Royal Military Police arrested two soldiers following the Friday incident.
“We expect the highest standards from our personnel,” an Army spokesperson said.
