The 36-year-old labourer was also “disqualified from driving for three years with a requirement to take an extended retest and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £100 (C$174)”, the police said.

Three police cars were damaged during the pursuit, including two when the police finally managed to stop Dewey on the motorway in Sompting, West Sussex.
