2 men have been sentenced
A driver used his vehicle 'as a weapon' as he rammed into police vehicles during an M1 police chase spanning 63 miles and four counties. Officers in Leicestershire first picked up the trail of a stolen Mercedes Sprinter van believed to be using false plates on Thursday, December 2, 2021.
The officer in the BMW collided with a barrier and the vehicle bounced back onto the carriageway - with one of the wheels coming off and striking a police Skoda. As police failed to box in the van, they resorted twice to using a stinger device - the second attempt being successful and stopping the van dead in its tracks.
Recorder Jason MacAdam told the men in the dock he was satisfied they had been fully signed up for what they knew was a criminal enterprise and that they were carrying an extremely valuable load. The judge said Wingate drove aggressively, dangerously, and quite deliberately rammed police vehicles at high speed. "You were using your vehicle as a weapon".
