A road menace who reached speeds of up to 130mph during a police chase has walked free from court.
When officers tried to pull over Noah Cairns for speeding, he initially appeared to obey them before pulling off and driving at extremely high speeds on the A19 to get away from them. Officers had to pull out of the chase because it was so dangerous but he was then spotted driving too fast the following day.
A stinger device was used to deflate his tyres and after trying to continue driving, his car was found in a hedge. Now the 21-year-old, who admitted two counts of dangerous driving, has been given a suspended prison sentence at Newcastle Crown Court.
