WATCH: Driving ban for man in Peterborough who led police on chase, crashed into parked car and tried to flee with one shoe

Cian McCluskey, 31, was speeding in a Ford Transit truck in Bretton Gate on April 24 when he attracted the attention of officers on patrol.

The officers turned their car around and began following McCluskey, indicating for him to stop.

He refused and regularly drove at more than double the speed limits, ignored multiple keep left bollards, went through a red light and even drove the wrong way around a roundabout.

The pursuit concluded in River Lane, off Thorpe Road, near Crescent Bridge, after McCluskey crashed into a parked car.

He ran from the scene, but left a shoe behind, and was soon arrested by officers.

McCluskey refused to comply with alcohol or drug tests and failed to provide blood for analysis in custody.

Further checks confirmed he didn’t have insurance to drive the vehicle.

McCluskey, of East Cobgate, Moulton, near Spalding, admitted dangerous driving, failing to provide a specimen for analysis and driving without insurance.

On Monday (June 29) at Cambridge Crown Court, he was sentenced to 18 months in prison, suspended for two years, and banned from driving for three years. He was also ordered to complete 150 hours of unpaid work and 15 days of rehabilitation activity.

PC Chris Euerby said: “McCluskey’s behaviour was appalling. His dangerous driving put other innocent road users at risk, many of which had to take evasive action to prevent a serious collision.

“I’m pleased the pursuit came to an end before anyone was injured and he has now appeared in court to answer for his actions.”
