A group of eight men were seen riding around on the motorised picnic tables and on West Cost Highway and onto Scarborough Beach Road – one of Perth’s most busy intersections.
Police have called on people to dob in the Scarborough motorised picnic table bandits.
“We encourage people to come forward with any knowledge of the incident and we can start to look at the people in the footage to see if we can identify them,” Snr Sgt Farrow told media.
“Police are working closely with the City of Stirling to review CCTV footage to identify those involved.”
Western Australia’s police minister Liz Harvey was outraged.
“Those people with the motorised tables and chairs turned into one of the busiest intersections in Perth – West Coast Highway and Scarborough Beach Road – on an unlicensed, unregistered vehicle and it looked like they had been drinking.”
“It’s putting other road users at risk and indeed putting those people on the toy at risk as well,” she said.
News websites across the world; in the US, Ireland, UK and Europe picked up the story on Monday and Tuesday.
