A West Australian couple are accused of going on a drug-fuelled rampage with a stolen $150,000 tractor through country Victoria, before crashing into a fence at an army base.
Police allege the couple from the small wheatbelt town of Narrogin were travelling through northeast Victoria in their Subaru wagon when about 8am on Saturday at Arcadia South they parked near a creek.They are accused of walking into a machinery shed and finding a 7.5 tonne John Deere tractor with a hay feeder trailer attached, starting the tractor with the keys that were inside, and driving away.
By 10.20am, witnesses say they saw a man with no shirt on in the driver’s seat and another person standing to his left while the tractor swerved across both lanes, almost hitting a bus, with someone calling Triple-0. But police say the tractor did not stop and instead nearly rolled when it went through a roundabout under the Hume Freeway, so police turned off their lights and sirens and kept following it.
