The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Moment masked men in Yorkshire cut down a speed camera” – below is their description.
This is the shocking moment masked men cut down a new speed camera using an angle grinder before fleeing the scene on a quad bike.
The alarming scenes took place just after 9pm on Monday on Leeds Road, in Dewsbury, as the pair set about destroying the newly-installed speed camera which had not yet been activated.
Video posted on social media shows one of the thugs, who was wearing a jacket with the word ‘police’ on the back, run up to the camera pole armed with an angle grinder and start sawing away at the metal structure, causing a sea of sparks.
Shocked residents can be seen emerging from their homes after presumably hearing some sort of commotion, to which one of the men says: ‘Carry on cutting’.
The pole eventually collapses into the middle of the road and the masked man returns to the quad bike with his accomplice who makes a swift getaway.
