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 footage shows the driver struggling to keep the Bulldog straight before the camera pans to a heavily damaged Vauxhall van pushed into a silver SUV. 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. “We will not comment further while an investigation is ongoing.” No injuries were reported, and the Bulldog was not damaged.
