An Iceland worker went on a forklift truck rampage in a warehouse after being suspended from his job. Jake Sharpe, of Dee View Road in Connah's Quay, appeared at Wrexham Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, April 4.
The court heard from prosecutor Justin Espie that police were dispatched to the Iceland warehouse on Second Avenue, in Deeside, after reports that someone was "trying to run over staff whilst driving a forklift truck." At 1am, officers found the 26-year-old driving around a freezer unit.
North Wales Live (NWL) reports that Sharpe was told moments before the incident that his bosses were suspending him from work, which he then responded to the effect of: "You can f*** off, you'll have to get police here to remove me." Sharpe then got into the forklift and drove towards security staff in the warehouse with his middle finger raised.
