Man jailed after driving through park in pursuit
Watch: Police pursue Bracknell driver around Berkshire town
- Published
A man has been jailed after driving dangerously, and without a licence or insurance, whilst being pursued by police.
Footage shared by Thames Valley Police showed Conagh Whitelock, from Bracknell, driving recklessly around the town before careering through South Hill Park.
During a hearing at Reading Magistrates' Court, the 25-year-old was sentenced to 43 weeks in prison for dangerous driving.
Whitelock also received a 12-week custodial sentence for driving whilst disqualified, which will be served concurrently.
He was disqualified from driving for two years.
Thames Valley Police's road policing team said: "We hope this time in custody gives him the opportunity to reflect on the risks he posed to innocent road users and people in the park.
"You drive like this, you will be caught — and you will face the consequences."
