Thief smashed cars in Mansfield street after reversing during police chase
A thief who stole and crashed a car after breaking into a house has appeared in court. Nottinghamshire Police officers were called on Monday at around 3:15am to an address on Stone Leigh Close, Mansfield, after thieves broke in and stole the keys.
Patrol cops spotted the car minutes later, and shortly afterwards a suspect was taken into custody. Several parked cars were damaged as the car reversed along Westfield Lane. James Clarke, 41, of no fixed address, appeared at Nottingham Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, July 26. He pleaded guilty to burglary, driving with no insurance, aggravated vehicle taking and dangerous driving.
Mr Clarke was remanded in custody and will be sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court later this month. Detective Sergeant Andrew Hall, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Burglary and vehicle taking offences are extremely upsetting for victims and I am pleased this vehicle was tracked down and a suspect arrested so quickly.”
