Moment drug dealer arrested for pick-up truck murder

Police body-worn camera footage shows the moment a drug dealer is arrested by armed officers for murdering a man with a pick-up truck.

Jeremy Heath drove a silver Mitsubishi through a bollard before crushing 26-year-old Arlind Xhokola against a tree in Harlow in March.

The 51-year-old, of Ladyshot in Harlow, was jailed for 27 years at Chelmsford Crown Court on Tuesday, and his two co-defendants were also sent to prison.

In the footage from Essex Police, the truck is seen being driven into the bollard and down the cycle path in Momples Road towards his victim.

Heath and his accomplices are then captured on CCTV walking away from the murder scene, before he is arrested two days later
