Driver smashes airport fence

A driver smashed into the perimeter fence of Owen Roberts International Airport over the weekend, damaging several feet of the wire fencing before fleeing the scene, police said. 

Police tracked down the driver of the Chevy Colorado that hit the fence in the early hours of Saturday morning because the license plate of the vehicle had fallen off in the collision and was left behind. 

The crash occurred on Crewe Road, near the junction with Smith Road. 

Officers later arrested the driver on suspicion of leaving the scene of an accident.  

Police said the suspect was released on bail and is set to attend the George Town Police Station at a later date.
