Johnathan Conian, aged 40, was jailed for eight months after leading police on a dangerous chase through Hither Green and Catford on June 5.

The pursuit started in Campshill Road, Hither Green, and ended in Polecroft Lane, Catford, where officers successfully stopped him.

Conian, who has no fixed address, pleaded guilty to charges of dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, and possessing cannabis at Bromley Magistrates’ Court.

On June 17, magistrates ruled that only a custodial sentence was appropriate due to the seriousness of Conian’s offences and his blatant disregard for court orders.

The 40-year-old was sentenced to eight months imprisonment for the dangerous driving incident.

In addition to the jail term, Conian received a 40-month driving disqualification. He is also required to pass an extended driving test before he is permitted to drive again.

The police pursuit began when officers spotted Conian driving a Hyundai on Campshill Road, Hither Green. He then fled the scene, leading officers on a chase through the area before being stopped in Polecroft Lane, Catford.
