Terrifying footage shows the moment a police car was rammed off a motorway at 70mph as two thugs filmed a high speed chase from a stolen van.

Robert Wingate, 24, and Deimantas Palaima, 19, caused more than £100,000 of damage to four police vehicles during the dangerous pursuit along the M1.

Officers followed the van onto the motorway in Nottinghamshire after being alerted to a Mercedes Sprinter, which had been stolen from an address in Sheffield.

Police attempted to stop the the van, which was also on cloned plates, in the early hours of December 2, 2021 - but the vehicle accelerated away at speed.
