Construction Vehicles Targeted

15th May 2014. About a lit­tle over week ago we snuck into a con­do devel­op­ment in Seat­tle and poured a gal­lon of bleach into the gas tank of an exca­va­tor. This was a small but eas­i­ly repro­ducible attack against the expan­sion of gen­tri­fi­ca­tion in Seat­tle.

Con­struc­tion vehi­cles are being tar­get­ed at M6 link road sites near Lan­cast­er, Eng­land caus­ing thou­sands of pounds of dam­age.

In what appears to be an orches­trat­ed cam­paign, hydraulic hoses were cut on exca­va­tors and dumper trucks.

Oth­er inci­dents include:

*Sand being put into tanks to con­t­a­m­i­nate the fuel

*Tyres being let down

*Dam­age to a tem­po­rary jet­ty in the Riv­er Lune

Thou­sands of pounds worth of dam­age was caused at a site at Cross­gills Farm, Lan­cast­er.

Police said: “Eight vehi­cles, includ­ing exca­va­tors and dumper trucks, were dam­aged to the tune of thou­sands of pounds at the week­end.

“Tyres have also been let down and sand put into fuel tanks.
“

“We are keep­ing an open mind as to who is respon­si­ble, how­ev­er the van­dals have made a con­cert­ed effort to cause crim­i­nal dam­age by using bolt crop­pers to cut the rub­ber hoses.”
