Dashcam footage shows police ramming stolen car

Police dashcam footage has shown the moment an officer rammed into the back of a stolen car.

Firearms officers pursued the Ford EcoSport on the A1039 in Tilbury on 4 December.

The car had been reported stolen from Grays a month earlier and Essex Police said it was being driven with a cloned number plate.

Bob Price, 23, from Thurrock, admitted aggravated vehicle taking, driving a motor vehicle otherwise in accordance with a licence, using a motor vehicle without third party insurance and driving a motor vehicle dangerously.

At Colchester Magistrates' Court last month, he was disqualified from driving for two years and three months and was ordered to pay a £187 victim surcharge.
