After engaging in a 120mph car chase with the police in a stolen vehicle, two Bristol teenagers have been sent to prison. Avon and Somerset Police have released video that shows the moment the two are caught after a long pursuit lasting several hours.
On October 1, 2017, at around 3.45 am, officers were warned of a BMW X1 with what seemed to be fake licence plates was seen on the A36 in Farleigh Hungerford. It was only after a tactical stinger was deployed and the four tyres deflated that the vehicle came to a standstill.
However, the criminals then attempted to flee on foot into fields and thick woodland, where they were eventually caught. On January 19, Kyle Marshall, 19, of HMP Bristol, and Finley Phillips, 18, of Sherrin Way, Bishopsworth, both appeared at Bristol Crown Court.
