Stolen armored vehicle taken for a cruise around Richmond (VIDEOS)

By Chris Eger

A member of the military from Fort Pickett got his hands on a National Guard M577 command post carrier and wound up in a low-speed pursuit with the Virginia State Police.
The incident started about 7:50 p.m. Tuesday night when the M113 armored vehicle variant was driven off base on to Route 460 then Intestate 95, as reported by the Virginia Pilot. Police followed the vehicle over a 60 mile route at speeds up to 40 m.p.h , which is about the top-out for the vehicle.
There were no reported injuries or crashes involving the wayard tracked vehicle and the unidentified driver is reported to be in custody.

This is INSANE! Someone has hijacked a “Tank-like” vehicle from Fort Pickett and just drove it by our apartment! This is on Broad Street in the Fan. pic.twitter.com/EYfhFux1dk
