trouble in paradise

Vandals attack Learmonth airport
 
Vandals caused thousands of dollars damage to Learmonth Airport near Exmouth overnight.

Cyclone-proof windows, computers and printers were smashed and offices trashed at the civilian terminal 40km south of Exmouth.

An airport worker discovered the damage at 5am today.  

About 300 RAAF personnel are in Exmouth this weekend for training and operation exercises.

Airport staff are auditing car keys and office equipment to make sure nothing was stolen.

Police are investigating.

The airport is routinely patrolled by Australian Federal Police and Exmouth police but no security is employed overnight.

It is expected CCTV vision will help identify the vandals.

well dress him up and send him to the front line in IRAQ without his gun, then he can see what fun it is busting things when they shoot back,
bloody prick should have the book thrown at him,

also how the hell can a civil airport facility be such an easy target? Can you imagine if he left a bomb in there what would have been the out-come???

Will end up with no punishment after a psych decides that he thought he was still at war.
