Criminal complains dashcam footage of police chase makes his driving look bad

A criminal complained to police that dashcam footage of a high speed pursuit to catch him made his driving look bad.

Nicholas Collins was part of a four-man gang, who organised crime spree of robberies and ram raids across the Midlands.

Shops were destroyed in the raids and staff were terrorised as the gang struck during the first half of 2020.

Ironically, as police closed in on the gang, Collins, who was driving the getaway van, accused officers of making his driving look bad.

The gang members are now beginning sentences of up to 18 years in prison each after a major investigation by West Midlands Police.
