They hired Charles Bronson to tunnel his way in.

Through a fellow member of Subterranea Britannica I've learned that apparently this guy was beginning to cause extensive damage to the site before they caught him.

Will be interesting to see how he was caught, didn't seem like the kind of guy that would give himself up.

The news last night said the police had made contact him. Maybe they just persuaded him to give up.

It would be a pretty boring end to the story if they had.

Hopefully the owner will let the press in to see wht has happened. Fingers crossed there's not been too much damage to the exhibits. My understanding was that most of the damage he had done was to CCTV cameras etc but I guess we'll see.

Yeah it would be good to see what he had done. Some of the exhibits are irreplaceable so hopefully he's not damaged those.

papers were saying he'd been pulling weapons down from the walls.

Any idea yet how they got him out?

Maybe they sent Hamburglar down after him...

Still, at least they've caught him

Supposedly he walked out the emergency exit at the rear of the bunker.

Damn, I was hoping for something a wee bit more dramatic, like a Butch Sundance-style breakout......
