Sussex police have released video of the moment a man stole a taxi from Gatwick airport, after another taxi refused to take him.

Mohammed Ahmed led police on a high-speed chase, after taking the unattended vehicle from outside the South Terminal in September 2022.

The 24-year-old was pursued along the M25 and M40, reaching speeds of over 130mph.

Ahmed was eventually arrested by authorities and charged with aggravated vehicle taking and dangerous driving, according to a statement from Sussex Police.

On Friday, August 4, he appeared before Lewes Crown Court for sentencing.

Disqualified from driving for 18 months, Ahmed was also ordered to complete 150 hours of unpaid work as part of a 14-month suspended prison sentence, pay £841.53 in compensation to the taxi driver and pay £425 for court costs as well as a victim surcharge of £187.
