Gypsies Smash £5m Police Helicopter With Axes
A group of pissed off travelling gypsies wrecked a multi-million pound police helicopter which was being used to spy on their site.
The gang used axes to trash the helicopter after they leapt over a 4ft wall surrounding Surrey Police force’s helipad at Fairoaks airport, near Woking in Surrey.
After threatening staff working in the operations room, they set about wrecking the helicopter, smashing six of its windows and causing tens of thousands of pounds worth of damage.
The incident happened at at the weekend after weeks of aerial surveillance on the travellers site, where detectives believe stolen goods have been hidden.
A Surrey Police spokesman said the identity of the mob members was ‘unknown’.
