Video: Drugged-up thief who led police on 2 hour chase in a stolen 30-tonne dumper truck has been jailed

Nicholas Churchill, 40, was today sentenced at Norwich Crown Court to 14 months in jail and banned from driving for two years after the 37-mile rampage in July last year.

Three police cars were damaged in the pursuit, which took place after reports of a giant yellow truck being driven dangerously on the A11. The cost of the damage was estimated to be more than £28,000.
