  And half the car park roped off with police incident tape. Why not just the area near the ATMs?

  Maybe so other police personnel who want to do some shopping can easily park their cars.
  
  
  Sorry everyone, the isolation boredom is now beginning to show.

  Because the area is where the thiefs had parked their 3 vehicles and where the police cars were rammed trying to block them from escaping.

  Odd. Didn't see anything about this in the Government's advice for 'travellers'?

  The digger was stolen from the old homebase construction site and tracked across the car park.
  
  

  

  
  
  What i don't understand is why the police tried to stop them and immobilized both of the police vehicles instead of just following them to whichever traveller camp they were going to?
