Police incredulous about men who dragged portaloos through the streets of Humpty Doo

A video uploaded to Facebook by some men in the Humpty Doo suburb of Darwin in Australia's Northern Territory shows the moment they attached a pair of portaloos to the back of a pick-up truck and dragged them along on the road.



The toilets can be swinging wildly across the road as sparks fly and their mates in the vehicle behind film the whole thing. NT Police duty superintendent Bob Harrison couldn’t believe his eyes ... or that the men were stupid enough to post the illegal activity on social media afterwards.

“I am actually incredulous after watching this video,” he said. “I have no understanding of what makes grown men behave in such a manner, I would have to question their IQ.” Mr Harrison suggested not only had they destroyed the property of another person but also damaged the road surface and destroyed a road side sign.

“The fact that it emitted sparks poses a danger to anyone in the area,” he said. “They are obviously proud of their achievement but I would say that their age matches their shoe size.” The video was taken down not long after it was posted.
