A vandal has demolished a house on a building site in Flat Bush overnight after commandeering a 20-tonne digger that was on site. An emergency stop button likely prevented vandals from wrecking more homes at an Auckland site where a newly-built house was destroyed by a digger. Mystery still surrounds the identity of the vandal responsible for smashing the Flat Bush house to pieces with a 20-tonne digger early on Friday morning. JASON DORDAY/Stuff A worker at the construction site said it was lucky the digger’s emergency stop button was activated, otherwise the vandal could have continued knocking down houses. “You’re not going to walk around holding insurance for negligent acts.”Caroline Williams/Stuff The adjoined houses were spared by the mystery digger vandal.
