Two servicemen have reportedly been arrested by Royal Military Police after causing £100,000 worth of damage

Two British Army engineers have been arrested after allegedly stealing an armored personnel carrier from a military base and driving it through a row of civilian vehicles, causing an estimated £100,000 ($135,000) in damage, according to UK media.

Footage of the alleged joyride, first published by The Sun on Friday, shows a 15-ton Bulldog armored vehicle barreling down a narrow road lined with parked cars at Swinton Barracks, part of Tidworth Garrison in the village of Perham Down, Wiltshire. The vehicle appears to struggle to go straight and squeeze between the cars, leaving a trail of destruction. At least two vehicles were reportedly heavily damaged, including a van and an SUV.

The outlet, citing military sources, reported that the soldiers had been drinking off base before returning to the barracks early on Friday morning. One allegedly took control of the tracked vehicle while another accompanied him, as the Bulldog normally requires a crew of two.

According to the report, the Bulldog itself was undamaged and was later neatly parked in a designated bay. No injuries have been reported.
