I can only hope the perpetrator's houses get burgled, their cars stolen, and the theives speed off down the motorway, never to be seen again.

A police spokesman said; "If only we had a helicopter, we might have been able to find the culprits..."

Idiots. Mind you what are the bet's it's somebody who has been convicted with the help of the Heli

Is this becoming another trend? I'm sure I read recently about another act of vandalism against a Police chopper - think it was further south IIRC....

Not good at all.....

Surrey's helicopter was attacked by travellers with axes last month.

Will put the airport security at Birmingham airport in the spotlight that's for sure!

That's the second Police Helo ground attack in not so many weeks.

I used to work in the Air Traffic building dealing with exec jets.And i can tell you first hand,the security is pathetic.little if any lighting,security guards asleep.Someone again will get some butt kicked for this.

A damned shame.
