A moped rider who led London police on a high-speed chase worthy of Grand Theft Auto, complete with throwing his helmet at the pursuing officer, has been arrested, charged, and sentenced to 15 months in prison. This whole incident puts those wild clips you see online to shame.
You really can’t make this stuff up. The dramatic footage was obtained by The Sun and started when a suspect on a stolen, L-plated moped tried desperately to shake off a motorbike cop. Footage captured by the police bike’s camera showed the intensity of the pursuit as the officer kept pace through the neighborhood. As the cop closed in, attempting to ride up right beside him, the moped rider made a truly shocking and dangerous move to try and end the chase.
