Mystery as car found perched on top of bus shelter in Brittany
Residents were intrigued to find the 1.3 tonne car ‘parked’ on the roof of a bus shelter on Monday morning. Police are investigating
Police are still investigating how a 1.3 tonne car ended up perched on the roof of a bus shelter in a small town in Finistère, Brittany.
There have been plenty of suggestions by some of the 2,200 residents of Plounéventer including the settling of scores, a prank - or even an art project - after the car was spotted early on Monday morning.
The white utility vehicle Peugeot Partner was removed by police a few hours later with the help of a crane.
Officers published this humorous facebook post in a bid to solve the mystery.
The owner of the vehicle has been identified but is said to be unreachable. The car had no insurance and no up-to-date contrôle technique test.
Philippe Héraud, the mayor of the town, is expected to file a complaint for damage to property and endangering others.
