🚨 In a wild escape straight out of a movie, Harri Pullen managed to slip away from custody while still in handcuffs! 🚔
Harri, 27, had been nabbed for a suspected drug deal in Newport but found a clever way to beat the system at Grange University Hospital in Cwmbran. After complaining about a head injury, he used the chance to call his mum. Little did anyone know, this call set the stage for his daring escape! 🤯
Sian Bates, 42, a family friend, swooped in, playing the role of getaway driver. As Harri made his move, bounding out the hospital doors, CCTV captured him jumping into a waiting car with the keys turned and ready. Sian drove off, leaving officers with no clue how he got away so fast.
Harri remained on the run for a whole week before authorities tracked him down in a car near a farmhouse in Newport. There, he tried one last-ditch effort to flee but was caught after a police chase involving a taser and a trusty police dog 🐕🦺.
Back in court, Harri faced the music and fessed up to 11 charges, from drug dealing to dangerous driving and escaping custody. He earned himself a six-year sentence. Interestingly, Harri’s escapades don’t just end with his daring escape; he’s famous for alleged romances with a prison officer and a jail nurse during a prior sentence! ❤️
Sian Bates, who has quite the record herself, faced charges of assisting an offender. The judge gave her a four-month sentence, suspended for a year, along with some intensive rehabilitation activities.
