He has been remanded in custody to appear at the Isle of Wight Magistrates Court tomorrow (15th August).
The second man was released from custody.
Well bet there get off lightly as usual, could of killed someone along there
I bet he’s got kid’s being primed to follow in his example….40 years old and his behaviour is that of someone much younger….brain-dead…
So when (if ? because CPS) they get to Court they should get long prison sentence otherwise will just do it again – next might kill someone. Might only be an old car to some, but fact they stole someone’s car has possibly caused the owner distress ( might be needed for work or first car and saved hard, Insurance never pay enough to replace what you had) and upset – who’s going to pay for garden wall?. What don’t also understand is if car was stolen last night , how come it’s been driving around our small Island and no police or ANPR seen it? – because?.
Our police have proved they only respond after incidents have happened, we only have thought police left….welcome to Woke Britain…more Woke police will be along soon…
You seem confused – I’m sure that neither you nor Mr Kilshaw know what woke means.
maybe the owners did not know it has been stolen ?? We do not all have our own driveway, or ability to park out front of own home . Many time I have to park on another street, as no where else to park.. plus the fact I do not use it every day..
Also in photo seems to show 4 police cars and a van,that could be 10plus officers after the event , when if two before hand had investigated the theft of car ,might been able to prevent this.
Or it could be 4 officers all single crewed… what about if the report only got made this morning….
Excessive use of officers being deployed after the crime came to conclusion, as opposed to investigating and apprehending the stolen vehicle, (no profit crime for Police and in searching for and apprehending a stolen car as no fines enforceable!)!
All in attendance when the crash occurred as there is revenue to be had to the coffers in respect of criminal damage to a wall and drink/drugs fines once apprehended!
It seems we have resources available after crimes have arrived at a resolution on this tiny island!
More lowlife scumbags will be along soon…
You are going out later then
Hence making a mockery of courts taking a licence or crushing a car as this rubbish would still drive some stolen car.
Answer is to remove such into state run army military law run boot camps for minimum of three years no remission and no press coverage as the whinging BBC would have the nation’s mis placed sympathy with well rehearsed ‘pitiful’ trumped up excuses
You have said that twice today. Are you secretly a parrot or just not very bright.
I think it’s terrible.
These people should be banished from the island. These chavs are not wanted here.
Afghanistan would be my first choice for them
Further proof that there is no age limit to stupidity.
I’m pretty sure I saw them up the road outside nisa just before it happened. He had backed all the way up to the bin, revved the car to the max and wheel span as he drove off. And as he did so he almost hit every car on the way down and also 2 ladies that were walking the opposite way up St Michaels Avenue
Nothing new there people up there do that all the time then drive down West Street like twats
Let me guess, Sandham house, fort street, where most issues arise from
So the second chap was released ? Not charged as an accessory ? Why ???
What do you reckon? ADHD? Anxiety issues? Tourettes? Learning difficulty? Non binary issues? Or just a complete brain dead moron? I’m opting for the last excuse.
If you can be bothered, google this morons name, useless waste of air.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this guys name over and over. Remove him from our island before he kills someone.
Seems to be a weekly thing reading about Mr Kilshaw and his drug fueled antics. it’s about time they lock him up and throw away the key
If we had the roads unit back to it’s former strength before Bob and his mates got rid of them these people would have been caught before the crash. Only enough police to clean up the mess now. Not enough to allow them to do their job.
