It could look like an Arctic version of the scene from the movie Golden Eye where James Bond drives through the streets of St. Petersburg in a stolen tank. But yesterday morning’s scene was not for a movie. It was real.
A man stole an armored tracked vehicle from the local paramilitary driving school DOSAAF and started to drive through the streets in Apatity, a town in the Murmansk region home to the Kola Science Centre.
In the Severnaya Street he first smashed a over a parked car, then drove across the pathway and rammed into a shopwindow. Here, he decided to jump out of the vehicle and into the shop to steal a bottle of wine, the local online Hibinform.ru reports.
Flashnord news agency informs, naturally, that the man then was arrested and law enforcement officials have filed a criminal case.
Yeah, only in Russia alright. How on earth did he manage to steal it in the first place? They sure don't care too much about security there, because I read something similar happening a few years ago, it was also a tank.
