🚨 High-Speed Police Chase in Swansea 🚨
Liam Palmer, with an “appalling record,” led police on a shocking chase through Swansea on a provisional licence! The 29-year-old was spotted behind the wheel of a Ford Fiesta in Penlan, and things took a wild turn! 🚗💨
Police signalled him to stop, but what did Palmer do? He reversed, spun the car, and took off, tearing through residential streets at twice the speed limit and blasting through red lights! 😱
The chase zipped down Pentregethin Road. Palmer drove on the wrong side, narrowly missing a head-on collision! After a few intense minutes, Palmer and his passenger bolted into the woods, ditching the car. Inside, cops found a burner phone with messages about drug sales across Swansea. 📱💬
When the dust settled, Palmer was found hiding behind a kitchen wall, a treasure trove of incriminating evidence nearby: Samsung and iPhone devices, cocaine residue, grip bags, scales, and a cheeky £640 in cash. 💰
Turns out, Palmer’s history is far from squeaky clean – eight previous convictions for 21 offences, including dangerous driving and drug possession. And he hadn’t even taken a driving test since being banned in 2020! 🚫
His lawyer Alycia Carpanini admitted Palmer’s record is shocking for someone so young but said he wants to break free from the drug world.
Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke wasn’t impressed. Palmer gets four years and eight months in prison for his cocaine-related crimes and a six-year driving ban. 🚔⚖️
Stay tuned for more updates on this gripping case!
