CCTV: Theft Victim Flung From Stolen Car

Dramatic CCTV footage showing a grocer clinging on to his stolen 4x4 before slamming into an oncoming car has been released by police.

Fruit and vegetable merchant Stuart Timmins was left with crippling leg injuries following his attempt to stop the thief making off with his Mitsubishi truck.

Chase Edwards, aged 30, of Lower Gorenl, was jailed for seven years and four months for a string of offences including theft, robbery and driving while disqualified and without insurance

He pleaded guilty to charges including the theft of the vehicle and trailer containing nine boxes of apples from the grocer in Dudley, in the West Midlands.

Mr Timmins described leaving his office to investigate last March after hearing the door of his truck slam.

He saw the thief in the driver's seat and grabbed on to the roof rail while trying to smash the window and grab the keys from the ignition.

After being dragged a few hundred metres along the road, he realised it was too dangerous to hang on any longer as the pick-up accelerated away.

"I let go and everything seemed to happen in slow motion, although it was only seconds," he said.

"I bounced off a car coming in the opposite direction, which had stopped on seeing what was happening and the trailer went over my leg."

Mr Timmins is still unable to walk and is undergoing physiotherapy.
