The name Connor Chapman is one that has been known to police for the best part of a decade, possibly even longer.
Pick a petty crime and, as a teenager, he probably did it. Aggravated vehicle taking, threatening behaviour, breaching the peace, a high speed chase which ended with him hiding in a bush and telling officers he was "waiting for a mate" when they found him.
Growing up on the Woodchurch Estate and mostly living with his grandparents, Chapman attended Woodchurch High School but left before sitting his GCSEs. He was first hauled before the courts as long ago as 2014, when he would have only been aged around 14, for shoplifting.
