A police helicopter had to be scrambled to help catch a known drug dealer and banned driver after he led officers on a 70mph chase around bustling streets in Leeds.
Darnell Anderson-Browne was only released from prison recently when he was spotted driving in the Burley area by patrolling police. He was on licence at the time from a five-year jail sentence for dealing and causing serious injury, having crashed a car and fleeing the scene, leaving a woman with a broken neck. He was also given a 58-month driving ban.
The Golf was also searched and £1,658 in cash was recovered, deals of cannabis, 22 grammes of crack cocaine, weighing scales and several mobile phones. Anderson-Browne, of Cemetery Road, Beeston, later admitted dealing in cocaine and cannabis, dangerous driving, driving while banned and without insurance, and possession of an offensive weapon after an extendable baton was also recovered from him. He appeared in court from HMP Leeds where he had been returned on licence after his arrest.
