Phone thief leads police on hair-raising 90mph chase
A moped rider who snatched mobile phones from pedestrians before leading police on a 90mph chase the wrong way down the M11 was jailed for just 30 months.
Zuriel Hutson, 21, and Sharuk Sheraji, 22, stole handsets from 18 people in one day of crime across London last 26 November.
Hutson attempted to escape on the moped, heading north and onto the North Circular, still followed by the helicopter.
He rode at speeds of up to 90mph, weaving in and out of traffic along the M11, and often on the wrong side of the carriageway towards oncoming traffic.
Terrified motorists had to swerve out of his path to avoid head-on collisions.
