Shocking moment prolific thief drives away from Yorkshire farm shop with brave staff member on bonnet
The prolific thief drove away from the Yorkshire farm shop with the staff member’s “torso on the car bonnet, his legs and feet scraping the road”.
Shocking footage shows the moment a prolific thief fled a farm shop with a brave staff member clinging on to his car.
The man, who had a passenger in the car, can be seen driving along the entire 200-metre-long driveway at the Yorkshire farm with the staff member’s “torso on the car bonnet, his legs and feet scraping the road”.
The victim was still clinging onto the bonnet as the man drove onto the A66 and stopped to check for oncoming traffic, which gave the worker the chance to jump off the car as he drove off.
