An armored military vehicle, looking like a tank but without the weaponry, was taken Tuesday night from a military installation in Virginia and pursued over main roads to Richmond. The vehicle, known as an armored personnel carrier and equipped with treads reminiscent of a tank, came to a halt about 9:40 p.m. in a Richmond intersection near the state capitol. It was not immediately known why it stopped or why it stopped where it did, at East Broad and 11th streets. Matters began, according to the state police, about 7:50 p.m., when the vehicle was driven away from Fort Pickett, in Nottoway County, Va., southwest of Richmond. The police began to pursue after they learned that it had been driven from the military base, a police spokeswoman said.
