Taylor Billingham, of Stebbings, Sutton Hill, Telford, damaged four vehicles in Staffordshire on October 11, 2022.

The 21-year-old cause damage a Porsche Macan in Ebstree Road, Seisdon; a Mercedes E Class in Codsall Road; a Mercedes lorry on the A5 at Gailey and a Ford Transit on the A5 eastbound. The Transit belonged to Cannock-based manufacturing firm ATC Drivetrain UK Ltd.

That came after a run in with police in Wellington on September 30 while driving a Mazda 3.

Billingham pleaded guilty at Kidderminster Magistrates Court to four counts of criminal damage, driving without due care and attention, failing to stop for police, driving after refusal/revocation of a driving licence and driving without insurance.

Magistrates ordered Billingham to pay £200 in compensation and issued a 12-month community order, which includes 80 hours of unpaid work and 15 rehabilitation activity days. They also banned Billingham from driving for 12 months.
