Police Praise Tough Sentence as Warning to Others
Inspector Chris Turner of Coulby Newham’s Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “We are pleased with the sentence handed to Macauley Owen this week. He could have seriously harmed himself or other innocent members of the public by driving dangerously that night and his sentence should be a deterrent to others who think this kind of behaviour is acceptable.”
Owen’s sentence sends a clear message: dangerous driving won’t be tolerated on local roads.
