A banned driver stole a police car and raced off at 140mph – while handcuffed.
Demitrious Nickoloau even switched on the siren and flashing blue and red lights.
He steered with his knees when he had to reach across to change gear. And he kept ahead of ten chasing police cars from three forces and a helicopter — for 50 miles.
Nickoloau said to police: “I was left in the car, so what was I supposed to do?”
He was jailed for 41 months for dangerous driving, stealing the police car, driving while disqualified and perverting justice. He was also banned from driving for six months.
