Dangerous driver jailed after leading police on 90mph chase through Black Country roads with 10-year-old girl in car

Scott Gough tried to get away with his crimes by lying to the DVLA and investigating officers who saw through his amateurish cover up.

Gough, 53, was sentenced at Wolverhampton Crown Court for dangerous driving, burglary, car theft and perverting the course of justice.

When police pulled Gough over on June 6, 2022, instead of proving his ID, he sped off from the officers, despite having a 10-year-old girl in the car.

For over 10 minutes Gough led pursuing police cars on a 90mph chase through Black Country roads, often driving on the wrong side, through red lights and over roundabouts.

Due to safety of other road users, many of whom had to break suddenly to avoid colliding with Gough, police officers slowed down. Gough then ran from the car, taking the child with him. He then tried to evade justice by logging onto the DVLA the next day and changed the owner of the car, which the police had found and spotted the cloned number plates.
