A driver who tore through Sutton during a six-minute police chase could spend more than a year in jail after being given a 13-month sentence.
Lewis Vivian, 49, of West Street, Sutton, was stopped by an unmarked police car after the Peugeot 306 he was driving was linked to a number of filling station petrol thefts.
As officers got out to speak to the driver, the only person in the car, he accelerated away.
Lewis Earl Vivian, of West Street, Sutton, was sentenced on June 12, at Croydon Crown Court, to seven months imprisonment for dangerous driving and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £100.
He was also sentenced to six months imprisonment to run consecutively for three counts of making off without paying for fuel from a service station on October 12, October 29, and November, 16, 2014.
Vivian pleaded guilty to all offences.
