A Russian man has been arrested after he reportedly stole an armoured vehicle and crashed it into a shop in a town north of the Arctic Circle.

According to regional news outlet Hibinform.ru, the unnamed culprit took the vehicle from a driving school, before failing to negotiate a bend, destroying a car, and crashing into the shop front in the north-western town of Apatity.

He’s also suspected of stealing a bottle of wine from the supermarket, and « it was with this very bottle that policemen detained him, » Hibinform says.

Little is currently known about the suspect, but Russian TV channel Vesti says he was « bored » and took the tracked vehicle from the driving school operated by DOSAAF, a voluntary organisation which cooperates with the armed forces in Russia. Police in the Murmansk region are now considering criminal charges, local media reports.
