“However, a social media post about the incident prompted numerous calls, which led to Golborne’s arrest in Williamson Avenue, West Town, Peterborough, on 22 November.”
Golborne, of High Street, March, admitted dangerous driving, fail to stop, driving without insurance, driving without a licence, disqualified driving, and possession of cannabis, and was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison, suspended for two years, at Huntingdon Magistrates’ Court on Saturday (23 November). He was also handed a two-year driving disqualification.
PC Gary Stabler, who investigated, said: “Thanks to the help of the public who shared information on Golborne’s whereabouts after seeing the incident on social media, we were able to locate and arrest him.
“If you ever have any information or concerns about someone who is committing traffic offences, please report it to us as soon as you can.”
