This is the moment SYP’s most wanted burglar was arrested by the Roads Proactive Policing Team (RPPT) after a man hunt came to an end following a dedicated and skilled pursuit.
Kyle Allen, 19, of no fixed address, has today (2 July) appeared before Sheffield Crown Court to be held accountable for blighting our communities, committing burglaries and stealing from innocent people.
In the early hours of 28 January, a RPPT officer sighted a Suzuki Cross in Penistone driving erratically, with the car believed to be on cloned plates.
At around 1.15am, the officer requested the driver of the vehicle, now known to be Allen, to stop and when he failed to do so, a pursuit commenced.
During the pursuit, Allen was witnessed to reach speeds of 90mph and drive on the wrong side of the road, including on the motorway.
