Charlie Batty of Moston Road was already serving a driving ban after being caught drug driving and driving without a license or insurance in 2023.

However, Shrewsbury Crown Court heard on Thursday that on February 13 this year, at around 4am, Shrewsbury Police spotted a black Audi driving along Monkmoor Road.

Ms Alexa Carrier, prosecuting, said officers in the unmarked car ran the car’s number plates through their computer and discovered the vehicle was neither registered nor insured.

“The car was traveling at over 60 mph. The brake lights were on all the time, so the police activated their blue lights but the Audi did not stop,” she said.
