20 January 2007 CAMERA WRECKED SIXTH TIME By Richard Smith BRITAIN'S most vandalised speed camera has been wrecked for a SIXTH time.
The hated machine had only been back in action for a week when it was targeted again and torched. In three years the device, by a school at Flax Bourton, near Bristol, has been set alight four times, knocked down and rammed. Each time it costs £30,000 to replace. The boss of Motorists Against Detection yesterday claimed responsibility. Nicknamed Captain Gatso, he said: "We have repeatedly targeted this stretch and this one has been taken out more than any other. "Police claim the camera is for safety - but we say 30mph is too fast with lots of children around. But at 3am motorists should be able to do up to 60mph." "We have 200 members and we're terrorising these cash machines." The group claims to have destroyed more than 1,000 cameras. Avon and Somerset police are investigating.
