A Russian man rammed an armoured personnel carrier into a shop window before climbing through the rubble to steal a single bottle of wine.
The man stole the vehicle from a privately-run motorsport training ground, drove it through a forest and into Apatity, a small town just south of the Arctic circle, local news agency Hibinform said.
Struggling to turn around in a narrow street, the man, whom witnesses described as being drunk, slammed the tank into the window of a convenience store, the news agency said.

He also crushed a car parked nearby, images showed.
Footage shared on social media showed the man climbing out of a hatch, briefly inspecting the damage, and climbing into the shop through the broken window.
He was later arrested in possession of a stolen bottle of wine, Hibinform said.
The shop was not licensed to sell alcohol that early in the morning, the agency added.
