Police arrested a 45-year-old man after a 90-minute rampage through Sydney's western suburbs in an Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) on Saturday. Police cars followed the APC as it destroyed six mobile phone towers and damaged an electricity sub-station.

Police were finally able to arrest the man after the APC stalled, as it was heading towards another electricity sub-station.

Police Chief Inspector Guy Haberley told the ABC, "The vehicle continued to other locations within the Mount Druitt local area command and continued to destroy mobile phone tower communications sheds by crashing through the perimeter fence and colliding with structures, causing significant damage."

He said police followed the carrier through a number of suburbs including Mt Druitt, Dharruk, Emerton, Glendenning and Plumpton.

The man is currently being held at Mt Druitt police station for questioning.
