A man who stole a dustbin lorry from a recyling centre in Wimborne - before leading police on a fifty mile chase across Dorset - has been jailed.

22 year old Aaron Millar - of Station Road in Parkstone - was pursued by eight police cars for an hour and a half ... and almost ran over an officer ... before crashing into a hedge near Weymouth.

He's been sentenced to 20 months behind bars - after admitting a number of charges AFTER his trial had started.
