WATCH: Police chase dangerous driver up motorways into West Midlands after he took taxi at Gatwick
Police have released footage from the night a Walsall man took an unattended taxi from an airport and led officers on a high-speed chase halfway up the country on motorways.
Mohammed Ahmed led police on a high-speed pursuit along the M6, M25 and M40, reaching speeds in excess of 130mph, and also drove into cordoned-off areas with roadworks in order to evade officers.
Despite losing a tyre to a police stinger device, he continued to drive away at speeds of more than 100mph.
But the 24-year-old was tracked by the National Police Air Service helicopter who informed police colleagues in Thames Valley Police and Warwickshire Police.
He drove into a cul-de-sac in Walsall and was arrested.
Following an investigation by Gatwick CID, Ahmed was charged with aggravated vehicle taking and dangerous driving.
