00:00Welcome to yet another edition of UK Crime Caught on Camera.

00:10This time we're covering high-speed chases.

00:21The driver here is someone West Midlands Police describe as really violent

00:26and who preyed on the vulnerable and took advantage of them.

00:29The footage shows him dangerously weaving in and out of traffic

00:33but it's what he did beforehand that prompted the police pursuit.

00:38The thug stole a 78-year-old woman's bag in the street

00:43that resulted in her breaking a hip after being dragged to the ground.

00:48Elsewhere, he broke into the home of another 78-year-old woman

00:52and cut her phone line so she couldn't call for help.

00:57There, he stole bank cards and cash.

01:05The driver also stabbed another woman several times in her hand

01:08as he tried to cut the strap of her handbag while she was walking down the street.

01:17He also tricked his way into the house of a vulnerable man

01:20who previously suffered a stroke by asking for a glass of water

01:24before stealing the man's bank cards.

01:28But the homeowner's son spotted the thug leaving the house,

01:32recognised him as previously having done roofing work at the property

01:36and was later able to identify him.

01:40A day later, he stole a Fiat 500

01:43but police were able to trace it due to an in-car tracker.

01:47The driver pled guilty to five burglaries,

01:50three robberies, an attempted robbery

01:53and aggravated vehicle taking.

01:56He was sentenced to 12 years in prison.

02:07The person behind the wheel in this footage is a teenage disqualified driver

02:11who has two passengers aboard as he rampages across the tarmac of Nottinghamshire.

02:17He also rammed into two police cars but was finally brought to a halt

02:21when two police cars managed to box him in.

02:24He pled guilty to dangerous driving,

02:27driving whilst disqualified and driving without insurance

02:31and was sentenced to nine months in prison,

02:34suspended for 18 months and banned from driving for 15 months.

02:40A judge also ordered him to complete a thinking skills programme

02:44and 20 rehabilitation days.

02:47He was also made subject of a three-month tagged curfew order.

02:59This is the moment a fugitive tries to hide in a hot tub

03:02after leading police officers on a death-defying 80-mile-per-hour chase

03:06their own way down a dual carriageway.

03:09He clambered into the jacuzzi as armed cops tracked him down to a family's back garden.

03:15Prior to that, he was one of three thugs who led officers on a high-speed chase

03:20after they left a man for dead in a savage assault.

03:24Police say the trio drove the wrong way round a roundabout.

03:34They then drove the wrong way at more than 80 miles per hour on a dual carriageway,

03:40forcing other vehicles to swerve to avoid collision.

03:46Several minutes later, the trio turned around on the carriageway and drove the other way.

03:53Next, police officers caught up with them in a residential area

03:58where the trio tried to escape capture.

04:04One of the thugs tried to flee through some gardens

04:08and, as we've already said,

04:11and, as we've already said,

04:14he tried to dodge the police by hiding inside a hot tub.

04:20But that didn't work out, and soon the law caught up to him.

04:25Two of the trio, including the hot tub thug,

04:28were convicted for attempted murder,

04:30while another was guilty of GBH with intent.

04:35They were sentenced to a combined 57 years.

04:42This is the moment a drug dealer who led police in a high-speed chase

04:47was finally caught after he crashed his car into a hedge in Peterborough.

04:55The driver had more than £1,500 worth of crack cocaine in his Kia

05:00when law enforcement caught up to them.

05:03He was jailed for four years,

05:28This is the moment two thieves stole a £60,000 diamond ring in Sussex.

05:34Footage shows how they asked to see the 18-carat gold and diamond ring.

05:43They distracted the store owner and dashed to a getaway car.

05:50However, with the help of the public, police were able to trace two vehicles.

05:58This car was cited driving at high speed on the M23

06:03but was stopped and another vehicle was halted in Surrey.

06:09One of the thieves admitted theft and driving while disqualified

06:13and was jailed for two years and four months.

06:17The other admitted to theft and was jailed for a year.

06:23This is the moment a police sergeant suffered whiplash injuries

06:36after being sent spinning off the A19 by a dangerous driver

06:41who rammed him during a pursuit.

06:44Police described the driver's actions as one of the most dangerous

06:48pieces of driving they have seen.

06:52The tipper van driver drove the wrong way down the A19

06:57and jumped several red lights and caused other motorists to take evasive action.

07:04His dangerous driving resulted in a lengthy police pursuit

07:08between North Tyneside and Cowdey Durham.

07:12He pled guilty to dangerous driving, driving while disqualified,

07:16driving without insurance and assault causing bodily harm.

07:22He was jailed for 30 months and was given a 27-month driving disqualification

07:27which comes into effect upon his release from prison.

07:33Once his disqualification period has expired,

07:36he'll need to sit an extended retest should he ever wish to drive again in the future.

07:46Here we see a speeding motorcyclist from Nottingham pulling wheelies

07:51during a high-speed police chase.

07:54The video shows him travelling at high speeds while pulling wheelies,

07:58spinning his rear tyre and dangerously overtaking vehicles.

08:02He led officers on a 20-mile chase, but the law finally caught up to him.

08:08After hitting an unmarked police car, he got up and made a dash for freedom

08:12After hitting an unmarked police car, he got up and made a dash for freedom

08:16after making his way into a farm.

08:19But he was nabbed after a short foot chase.

08:22He was also uninsured and riding with false plates.

08:27The biker admitted dangerous driving, driving without insurance

08:45and was disqualified from driving for two years.

08:56This police video shows the moment a stoned van driver

08:59led police on an eight-mile high-speed chase

09:02hitting 70 mph along residential streets.

09:07The driver had no license or insurance when he reached double the speed limit,

09:11drove on the wrong side of the road and skipped through red lights.

09:16He sped past a number of schoolchildren at breakneck speeds

09:20as he tried to evade pursuing officers.

09:23The driver also threw a taser disguised as a mobile phone

09:26out of his window during the chase.

09:31When he was eventually detained,

09:33he tested positive for cannabis at the roadside.

09:38He was subsequently charged with dangerous driving,

09:41drug driving, possession of a taser,

09:44driving without insurance and without a driving license.

09:49The driver admitted the offences but was spared jail

09:52when he was handed a two-month prison sentence,

09:55suspended for 15 months and was given a 15-month driving ban.

10:00He was also ordered to carry out 80 hours of unpaid work,

10:03a rehabilitation activity for 30 days,

10:06and pay costs of £150.

10:09A judge also ordered the forfeiture and destruction of the weapon

10:13and the confiscation of the van.

10:17A biker nearly killed himself as he tried to flee from police,

10:21carrying a backpack full of drugs in Nottingham.

10:25When police caught up to him, they found £270 in cash

10:29and 40 raps of cannabis in his backpack.

10:32A search of his home later revealed a further £5,486 in cash,

10:37and a bag of cannabis in his backpack.

10:41A search of his home later revealed a further £5,486 in cash,

10:46and a burner phone with text messages requesting

10:49gelato, a type of cannabis.

10:56and dangerous driving.
