Man jailed for drugs offences following Cheshire Police pursuit

A drug dealer who led officers from Cheshire Roads and Crime Unit on a pursuit across the county has been jailed.
Neil Corrigan appeared at Chester Crown Court on Thursday 9 May where he was sentenced to 5 years in prison. He has also been banned from driving for 5 years and 4 months.
The 42-year-old, of Main Street, Cayton, Scarborough, had earlier pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of class A drugs (heroin), dangerous driving, failing to stop and driving without insurance.
The court heard how at around 5.30pm on Tuesday 5 March, officers attempted to stop a white Mercedes Sprinter van driven by Corrigan on the M56, near Warrington.
Corrigan failed to stop and threw a large package out of the window before making off at speed. Officers pursued his vehicle as it travelled along the M56 into Manchester and then onto the A555 towards Manchester Airport.
The van subsequently came to a stop after driving through a barrier near the entrance of a multi-storey car park at Terminal One. Corrigan attempted to make off on foot, but was quickly arrested near to the Radisson Blue Hotel.
