The car was eventually located on the outskirts of the town, but when an officer parked their police car in front of the vehicle to prevent it escaping, Chand rammed it and took off at high speed.

Surrey Police Officers later re-located the vehicle just minutes away on Woking Road, before Chand lost control of the car on the plush Blanchard’s Hill – obliterating a wooden fence and hitting a wall.

Despite the crash, Chand still attempted to escape – jumping over garden fences and discarding a sock and bloodstained glove, before being detained by police.

Chand, from Romford, London, was arrested for multiple offences; including theft of a motor vehicle, dangerous driving, criminal damage, and driving whilst unfit.

He was later charged with aggravated vehicle taking, driving without insurance, and failing to provide a specimen for analysis following a collision.
