00:00That driver is, you guessed it, behind bars after raiding a farm shop in North Yorkshire.
00:06The brave worker who tried to stop him fleeing remained here for more than 200 metres
00:11and then jumped off when the thief stopped to check for oncoming traffic.
00:17A court heard how a store employee caught the thief having recognised him from an earlier incident
00:23where he lifted close to £900 worth of goods.
00:26So when the super smart thief returned to the shop he stole from, because that's a great idea,
00:32staff confronted him and gave chase.
00:36The thief who had a passenger in the car was nabbed shortly after
00:39when his registration plate was picked up by cameras.
00:45He told the cops he gave all his loot away, how utilitarian of him,
00:49and that the shop worker leapt onto his car denying he was driving dangerously.
00:57He later admitted to six offences including dangerous driving,
01:01shop theft and driving while disqualified and without insurance.
01:06He was jailed for 18 months and banned from driving for two years.
