CHELSEA residents received a shock wakeup last weekend when they discovered their car had been driven through a wall.
The vehicle’s owners, who live on Thames Promenade, were woken by a loud sound at around 4.30am on 17 September. Outside they found their Toyota 4WD amid the ruins of a brick wall.
Police are investigating the incident. Although nobody at the scene was injured, the car and property sustained major damage.
Chelsea SES were called to the scene to assist. A statement on its Facebook page read “the crew cleared all the damaged brickwork from the footpath and front of the units, and then once the vehicle had been removed, the brickwork that had been damaged had to be pulled down and made safe.”
