A father was caught with around £85,000 of heroin and crack cocaine by police after he fell of his bike. Craig Byatt attempted to evade officers along a canal towpath.
But he was caught by police after slipping and had the drugs in his possession in a sports bag. The chase came months after he tried to evade cops in a high-speed car pursuit which resulted in a crash, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Liverpool Crown Court heard that police spotted Byatt's car driving without an MOT in August last year in the Anfield area of Liverpool. Officers pursued the 39-year-old who "made off at speed" after being stopped and was driving "erratically and aggressively".
