Naked ram-raider robbed supermarket before police chase

A naked ram-raider ransacked a supermarket before leading police on a high-speed car chase.

David Ball, 31 – wearing just Ugg boots and a bed sheet – grabbed £1,500 of cigarettes after driving into security shutters.

Later a policeman spotted him doing double the 40mph limit.

Ball was caught after ignoring red lights and hitting two cars. He was twice the drink limit, Solihull JPs heard.

He told police he could not remember the raid.

Ball, of Kenilworth, admitted burglary, aggravated vehicle taking, drink-driving and driving with no insurance. He was refused bail and will be sentenced next month.
