More than £140,000 has now been raised for a dad who spent months in prison after chasing two burglars away from his home before hitting them with his car. Adam White appeared on the TV series 24 Hours in Police Custody earlier this week and his case caught the attention of viewers, leading to a GoFundMe appeal being launched.
Monday's (November 30) episode of the Channel 4 show followed the police investigation. Adam was the victim of an attempted burglary, but was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm to burglars he chased and crashed into as they fled on a motorbike.
Taylor Benford and Ryan Paul pleaded guilty to the attempted burglary, while Adam was found guilty by a jury. The judge sentenced White to 22 months in prison, while giving a suspended sentence to Benford and Paul, recognising they both bore substantial responsibility themselves for their injuries.
