Headline is a bit misleading imo, "military truck" sounds like a truck owned and operated by the MOD, not a former military truck that is now owned by some weirdo

My thoughts exactly. Military truck sounds better than Army Surplus though doesn't it?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Nine vehicles were left damaged after a privately owned military truck was driven through a police road block.
Officers attended an address in Norton Fitzwarren, near Taunton, at 16.40 BST on Sunday after reports a man made threats to a person living there.
When they arrived, the 41-year-old left the address in a large military truck, damaging four police cars and five other vehicles.
He has also been arrested on multiple counts of suspicion of criminal damage, Avon and Somerset Police said.
After driving through the road block, the truck hit a parked car and a signpost.
