The wine he was so desperate to lay his hands on is from the Crimea

On the way, he lost control and crashed into a Daewoo car.

The man then hopped out of the Soviet-era multi-purpose fully amphibious auxiliary armoured tracked vehicle and grabbed a bottle of wine from the supermarket shelf. 

The armoured vehicle - known in the West as an M-1970 - was thereafter left in front of the shop.

He then ran off, but was swiftly seized by police.
