The scene was chaotic and alarming as a moped driver nearly collided with customers inside a bustling JD Sports store before committing another outrageous act. Kavan Conroy, a 21-year-old with a history of theft and criminal damage, was seen maneuvering his bike through the busy pedestrianized area of Newcastle city center. Instead of parking and entering the store like a normal person, he decided to make a grand entrance by riding his moped straight through the entrance.
The whole ordeal was caught on CCTV footage on March 21 of this year. Conroy, who was not wearing a helmet and had no license plate on his moped, can be seen driving recklessly around the shop entrance. It was a miracle that no one was seriously injured by his dangerous driving. But the chaos did not end there. After causing chaos in the store, Conroy was tracked down by the police and arrested at a nearby shopping center.
However, his arrest did not go smoothly either. Conroy, who had already verbally abused two officers, went on to kick one of them in the face while inside the police van. As a result, he was charged and pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, threatening behavior, having no insurance, driving without a license, and assaulting an emergency worker. The court sentenced him to 11 months in jail and banned him from driving.
Chief Superintendent Barrie Joisce of Northumbria Police expressed his disgust at Conroy's actions. He stated, "Conroy's actions were disgraceful on the day he committed these offenses, and he is now rightfully behind bars." He also added, "We will not tolerate such reckless and criminal behavior, and Conroy's sentencing should serve as a warning to anyone planning to commit a crime in Newcastle city center. We will find you, and you will face the consequences."
CCTV footage also captured Conroy's disregard for the safety of others as he rode his moped through the pedestrian area. It was fortunate that no one was seriously injured by his reckless driving. But his actions were not only dangerous, but they also displayed a complete lack of respect for the law and the safety of others. Councillor Paula Maines of Newcastle City Council expressed her disappointment in Conroy's behavior and stated that it would not be tolerated in their city.
Conroy's sentencing comes as the authorities launch a crackdown on crime and anti-social behavior in Newcastle. It is clear that his actions were unacceptable and will not be tolerated in the city. The safety and well-being of the community, whether they are locals, visitors, or those working in local businesses, should not be put at risk by the likes of Conroy. Hopefully, his time in jail will serve as a lesson and prevent others from committing similar offenses.
