The Sun understands the SUV was a Chinese made MG ZS electric vehicle – worth around £30,000 – which soldiers have been warned not to hold sensitive conversations inside due to risk of spying. The drunken soldier then parked the Bulldog neatly in a parking bay before calmly returning to his barracks. Images show the massive armoured vehicle slotted neatly in a parking spot, with cars around it left undamaged. The soldier responsible for the joyride was nicked in his room by Royal Military Police at dawn as comrades discovered the devastation on camp. A second soldier was also arrested. The Army lists driving as one of 26 Engineer Regt’s specialist roles. An Army spokesperson said: “We expect the highest standards from our personnel. “Two soldiers have been arrested by the Royal Military Police following an incident at Perham Down this morning, 24th July. “We will not comment further while an investigation is ongoing.”
