A so-called joyrider who led police on a 100 mph pursuit in a stolen Mercedes was jailed for three months today.
In addition to the jail sentence, 24-year-old John Connors was handed a two year driving ban by District Judge Nigel Broderick who said given the “dangerous nature of the driving only a custodial sentence can be merited.”
Connors, who appeared at Antrim Magistrates Court by video link from custody but who has an address on the Old Suffolk Road in Belfast, had entered guilty pleas to a total of 13 offences, all committed on 25 February 2016.
Among the offences, Connors admitted handling the stolen Mercedes, dangerous driving, aggravated vehicle theft causing damage, failing to stop and remain, theft, no insurance, no driving licence, fraudulent use of registration plates, going equipped for theft and possessing class B cannabis.
