Tank rampage crushes phone masts


A man has been arrested in Sydney after phone masts were destroyed during a 90-minute rampage in a privately owned armoured personnel carrier.

John Robert Patterson, 45, allegedly smashed six properties including an electrical substation in a path of destruction through six suburbs.

Police followed the restored tank in a sedately paced chase until it stalled.

Telecoms firm Telstra said there would be "coverage problems" and it might have to install temporary phone towers once it was given access by police.
