Tanked soldier takes 2 heavily armed joyrides
Berlin ? Police say one joyride in a light tank wasn’t enough for a drunken British soldier in Germany.
Police in Celle say the 18-year-old stole a small light tank early Friday and rumbled out of his base toward nearby Bergen — but drove off the road after 500 yards.
Undaunted, he walked back to his base and commandeered a second armored vehicle just like the first. This time, he was spotted by a British military police patrol.
As the patrol tried to stop him, he lost control and drove into a tree. Military police then arrested him.
German police say a breathalyzer test showed an alcohol concentration of 0.1 percent.
