A cocaine-fuelled thief took police on a chase past children walking home from school.
Shaun Wilkinson, of Woodchurch Road, Oxton, Birkenhead, stole the keys to a red Honda Civic and a mobile phone from a locker at the Waterworld Leisure and Activity Centre in Wrexham on Friday, June 17. The 28-year-old then used the keys to get into the car, which was parked outside the leisure centre, and drove off in it.
The owner discovered that her car, keys and phone had been stolen at around 2.10pm and called the police. Officers looking for the car spotted it in Chester at around 3.15pm and pursued the car into Ellesmere Port.
