Drug dealer's escape attempt goes spectacularly wrong in seconds
A drug dealer found with a block of heroin tried to stage an escape from police officers but instead reversed straight into another police car.
Police moved to arrest Spencer Bowen and his passenger Ben Catterall after they suspected them of being involved in drug dealing earlier this year. When the plain clothes officers tried to arrest him Bowen tried to drive his car away but hit an unmarked police car almost immediately.
Bowen was jailed today but a judge gave Catterall a suspended sentence despite him admitting possession of heroin with intent to supply it. Christopher Taylor, prosecuting, said Bowen was driving his car through Kirkdale on Monday, January 13, when police pulled him over after a member of the public reported the car.
Mr Taylor said plain clothes officers who were investigating county lines drug issues in the area went to arrest the pair but Bowen and Catterall made a vain attempt to avoid surrender. He said: “[The officers’] warrant cards were clearly shown. The vehicle then drove off, reversing at speed before colliding with a police vehicle parked behind."
