This footage captures the lengthy journey a thief made after nicking a Range Rover from Manchester Airport. Sam Toms, 19, and another man were seen on CCTV at the Terminal 2 multi-storey car park breaking into the Range Rover Sport using a device.

They then drove it out of the ‘secure’ car park before police later spotted it on false plates as it drove through Staffordshire.

Reaching speeds of 100mph, a police helicopter camera captured the ‘appalling’ driving as Toms undertook and overtook cars, ignoring road markings, drove through red lights and almost crashed into a lorry.

He was said to reach the frightening speed of 150mph despite having three punctured tyres, Manchester Crown Court heard. The chase eventually came to an end when Toms, of Staffordshire, lost control of the car after taking a left turn into a cul-de-sac and ran away, but officers were able to catch up with him.
