A 21-year-old man has been sentenced after leading police on a high-speed pursuit through North Yorkshire countryside before having his tyres blown out by a stinger.

Finn Thomas Barker of The Oval in Skipton set off in the car at around 9am on February 2, 2022.

He was driving towards Catterick Garrison where his car was picked up on CCTV cameras.

Police caught up with the vehicle shortly after on Leyburn Road and followed it for some time as Barker continued to drive dangerously.
