Two Male Juveniles Arrested Following Bodden Town Collision

Following an investigation into the collision that took place on 8th August at Anton Bodden Drive involving an excavator and a black Chevy Tahoe, police discerned that a report was made in relation to persons interfering with the same heavy equipment the evening prior to this incident, which were safely stowed at a location in the Anton Bodden Road area by the owner.  The equipment was further secured by the owner and it appears that on the morning of 8th August, the excavator was further interfered with and moved into the roadway causing a serious hazard.

Moments before the collision took place, a member of the public, who was traveling on Anton Bodden Drive, reported that the arm of an excavator was in the roadway, causing an obstruction.  Within seconds of this call with 9-1-1 Communication Centre, the member of the public then further reported that a vehicle just crashed into the said excavator.

Following the incident police continued their investigation into the interference of the excavator. From these enquiries police had reason to suspect that juveniles residing in the Bodden Town area may have interfered with the excavator. Two male juveniles were arrested on suspicion of carrying out a reckless and negligent act having moved the excavator and placing the arm into the roadway. They were subsequently bailed pending further investigations.

Police continue to investigate this incident are appealing for any witnesses who may be aware of what took place to come forward.
