A petition has been set up to seek ‘justice’ for a father who was jailed for causing serious injury by dangerous driving after he chased two men who attempted to break into his home in 2019. The case appeared on a recent episode of Channel 4’s 24 Hours in Police Custody.
Adam White, 34 and from Leighton Buzzard, was sentenced for 22 months in February 2020 after his pursuit of two career criminals in his Mercedes 4x4 resulted in him crashing and accidentally knocking Taylor Benford and Ryan Paul off their stolen motorbike. The pair ended up in hospital, with Benford fracturing several bones, while Paul suffered a brain bleed.
White, a dad of two, was arrested at the scene and charged, before he was eventually convicted and sentenced at Luton Crown Court. Benford and Paul were given suspended sentences and 200 hours community service at the same court for the attempted burglary.
