The backlash against speed cameras is growing and it won't be long before
someone gets hurt. Detectives in Northamptonshire are investigating an explosion
by a speed camera on the A605 at Thrapston.
The camera was destroyed and metal fragments were found fifty feet away.
Whilst many cameras in Northamptonshire have been vandalised or driven into,
this is the first one to be blown up.
Detective Constable Alison Farr, of Kettering CID, said on Tuesday night:
"We are treating this crime extremely seriously, it was an unbelievably
irresponsible act.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning.
