The Jaguar Chase That Wasn't | Liverpool News
Description
A teaching assistant spiraled into financial ruin, fabricating a high-speed motorway chase to ditch his unaffordable electric Jaguar—only for police to box him in during a 38-mile pursuit at 86 mph. The car was stationary when he called 999, and he was texting his girlfriend while driving. His staged “brake failure” led to nationwide traffic chaos, cost Jaguar Land Rover $50 million in PR damage, and earned him a four-year prison sentence and five-year driving ban. A desperate, dangerous lie that put lives at risk—and netted him just £200 from selling the story.
