A man who stole an Audi A6 and was caught only hours later has a “contemptuous attitude towards the law", a court heard.
Sean Fagan, 29, was spotted driving the Audi A6, now on cloned plates, down the East Lancashire Road hours after stealing it on the night of October 9. Derrick Jones, prosecuting, explained police began a pursuit of the vehicle at around 1.30pm on October 10, when the vehicle was seen “weaving in and out of traffic" before managing to turn down a nearby crescent.
Fagan, of Whitney Road, Liverpool, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Tuesday for three charges relating to the theft of the car, which was stolen from Vincent Staunton while he cared for his sick mother.
