A teenage yob who clipped a police car causing £800 of damage in a bid to escape capture has been jailed. Mccauly Brooker, aged 19, was driving the stolen Ford Fiesta when he was cornered by an unmarked police car in a cul-de-sac in Cheetham Hill.

Brooker was spotted by the officers who were in search of the stolen vehicle, when they saw the blue car parked outside a property on St Kilda’s Drive.

As they shone their headlights into the vehicle, Brooker, of Salford , accelerated forward and scraped the side of the police car, before making a quick getaway at high speeds.

The stolen Ford was found hours later, abandoned. Manchester Crown Square Crown Court heard that the car was previously stolen from a home burglary in Bolton and belonged
