Huddersfield man in police chase just SIX DAYS after release from prison

Thursday, 8 December 2016 17:45

Christopher Collins who was due to be released from prison was involved in a car crash when being chased by the police.

The man from Clare Hills, Huddersfield was released on licence on June the 3rd from a three year sentence for burglary.

A police officer spotted the 31 year old on June 9th behind the wheel of a Hyundai Santa Fe car which had been reported stolen by burglars from outside a house in New Mill Road, Holmfirth early the previous day.

Collins ignored the police and continued driving both undertaking and overtaking other vehicles and narrowly avoiding a collision with a car. He ended up hitting another vehicle which left the elderly couple requiring treatment for the collision.

The court heard he had six previous convictions on his record for dangerous driving.

Collins admitted to dangerous driving, handling the stolen car and a Rolex watch also taken in the burglary, having no insurance or licence.

He was jailed for 30 months and disqualified from driving for three years. Recorder Paul Isaacs told him he had an “appalling” record.
