    2008 Rangie used in Perth Burglary

    News today thieves stole a 2008 Rangie and crashed into a shopping centre in Perth. They then drove through the shopping centre mall to raid a lotto agency. They loaded the safe into the back of the Rangie and decamped .
    These thieves must have known the great capabilities of the Rangie, a lesser the thief would have stolen a Land cruiser and probably not got a way. The Rangie smashed it's way very sturdily throughout the heist. It was recorded on security cameras.

    Here's a couple of links to the story:

    Thieves ram raid Garden City, safe stolen - The West Australian

    Dozens of businesses damaged in ram raid rampage | Perth Now

    If they are correct, and the theives entered at the Post Office entrance, then that is virtually at the other end of the shopping centre.

    They would have had to have driven almost a couple of hundred metres through the shopping centre to get to the Myer end.

    I can't believe the cops couldn't get there before they left!

    I saw that and had a good laugh. They must have been clever crooks to pick the Rangie. As eluded before a cruiser would have gotten stuck on stairs or the slippery tiles.

    According to Jeremy Clarkson in an old episode of TG I was watching last night ..... "All burglars drive Discoverys"

    I guess now they have upgraded to Rangies.
