Thief who stole police car thought it 'big joke'

Police said Daniel Wild, 33, thought it ‘was one big joke’ – but he is now due to appear before a crown court judge to be sentenced after he pleaded guilty to a series of charges.

The M.E.N. reported a video being shared on TikTok showed a liveried Greater Manchester Police 4x4 being driven recklessly in Kirkholt, Rochdale.

The car can be seen in the footage reversing along the pavement of a street at pace, before backing into a side street and bouncing off the kerb and back onto the road.

It happened after an officer left the vehicle to detain and arrest a 28-yearold man in a shop nearby after a pursuit, GMP said.
