WATCH: Police chase dangerous driver up motorways into West Midlands after he took taxi at Gatwick
Police have released footage from the night a Walsall man took an unattended taxi from an airport and led officers on a high-speed chase halfway up the country on motorways.
Mohammed Ahmed led police on a high-speed pursuit along the M6, M25 and M40, reaching speeds in excess of 130mph, and also drove into cordoned-off areas with roadworks in order to evade officers.
Despite losing a tyre to a police stinger device, he continued to drive away at speeds of more than 100mph.
But the 24-year-old was tracked by the National Police Air Service helicopter who informed police colleagues in Thames Valley Police and Warwickshire Police.
He drove into a cul-de-sac in Walsall and was arrested.
Following an investigation by Gatwick CID, Ahmed was charged with aggravated vehicle taking and dangerous driving.
Ahmed, unemployed of Heather Avenue, Walsall, appeared before Lewes Crown Court for sentencing on Friday, August 4.
