A local man who committed several driving offences, including Dangerous Driving, was given a £500 fine yesterday. 

A statement from the RGP follows below:

Kaydan Peacock, 23, of Glacis Estate, was sentenced by the Magistrates’ Court. 

His arrest came following an incident just after 6pm on Thursday 11 February this  year, when he rode a motorcycle out of McDonalds’s Restaurant and turned left,  ignoring the compulsory traffic sign to turn right. 

A police patrol vehicle witnessed the incident and signalled for Peacock to stop. 

However, after stopping briefly to let a pillion passenger get off the back of his  motorcycle, he then sped off. 

Police pursued Peacock north along Europort Road, where he turned right into Varyl  Begg Estate against the flow of traffic and narrowly avoided colliding with a vehicle  that was approaching the exit. 

He then escaped from police by driving the wrong way through the estate. 

Just before 7pm that same evening, police located Peacock at a residence in  Laguna Estate, where he was arrested. 

For the offences of No Driving Licence and for Failing to Stop for Police, he pleaded  Guilty and received a fine of £100 for each offence. 

In addition, he was found Guilty of Dangerous Driving, for which he received an  additional £300 fine.
