\"\"\u201cI\u2019m Luke, I\u2019m five and my Dad\u2019s Bruce Lee…\u201d That\u2019s what song a Maltby lad will be singing, after he was sent to prison for stealing a JCB<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Gareth Twigg, aged 23, of Fraquhar road, Maltby, received a nine months jail sentence after he pleaded guilty at Warwick Crown.<\/p>\n

Twigg, admitted he stole the digger from a construction site compound in Rugby, Warwickshire back in July. He also admitted to damaging the compound fence which he drove the digger though as well as dangerous driving<\/strong>. For which he was also banned for 18 months.
\n<\/p>\n

His arrest was made following a low-speed police chase<\/strong>, a court heard.<\/p>\n

Sarah Pedley, prosecuting said the project manager for Taylor Woodrow was at work when Twigg climbed in the cab of a \u00a330,000 JCB digger. <\/p>\n

Police were alerted and eventually spotted Twigg after he drove the digger though the centre of Clifton-on-Dunsmore village. <\/p>\n

He was then followed for 100 yards , while police tried to stop him as he continued driving whilst on his mobile phone. He then jumped from the still moving digger. <\/p>\n

The JCB kept going, and finally drifted onto the offside of the road into the path of any oncoming traffic<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Officers then managed to get onto the digger and stop it before it caused any serious injury<\/strong>. They then arrested Twigg who told them: \u201cSomeone dropped me off and put me up to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Judge Griffith-Jones said breaking into sites and stealing heavy plant has become more common and needs deterring. <\/p>\n

She told Twigg: \u201cThis is valuable equipment which is being stolen, although I have no doubt you were a front line stooge on behalf of others. But we move onto some which in reality is more serious still, because you were on a public road without any proficiency in how to drive this. You then jumped off the slow-moving but large piece of machinery and put at risk any car which may have been coming in the opposite direction.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s incidents like this that put you and other drivers at risk. If the police wouldn\u2019t have managed to stop the vehicle then it could have caused some serious injuries. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
