An Audi driver has been jailed after leading cops on two high-speed chases through the streets of Bolton.
Craig Sloane drove at 90mph on a 30mph road during the first pursuit and went through four red lights on the second - which took place around 13 months later, while he was still on bail for the original offence. A judge at Bolton Crown Court slammed the 32-year-old’s driving as ‘arrogant’ and ‘selfish’ as he sentenced him to 22 months imprisonment today (Tuesday November 15).
Prosecution barrister Keith Jones told the court that Sloane had been driving a black Audi A3, down Deane Church Lane, on the morning of July 1 2021, when he was spotted by police officers. After they started to follow him, he sped off down the 30mph road at 70mph, before turning onto St Helens Road.
