THE ONE BOY CRIME WAVE
Jail to end tiny thug’s rampages
THESE defiant pictures show a one-boy crimewave bragging about his life of joyriding shortly before mowing down a police officer in a RollsRoyce he had pinched.
Pint-sized Kash Parkinson, 18, was so small he could barely see over the steering wheel of the £200,000 Phantom supercar which had been parked in a terraced street near his home.
The 5ft 2ins tearaway had proved a massive headache for police and locals.
But last night Parkinson, from Ashtonunder-Lyne, Gtr Manchester, was starting four years in jail.
He mowed down and injured a policeman trying to detain him after a 70mph pursuit while he was was on bail over another police chase in a different stolen car.
Fed-up residents reported baby-faced Parkinson for repeated car and motorbike thefts. He was also arrested for drugs offences, assault, vandalism and even terrorising his own grandmother.
Haunts
JPs placed him on youth rehabilitation schemes and also banned him from his regular haunts and associating with other yobs but Parkinson simply ignored a two-year Criminal Behaviour Order and even booking taxis to meet his cronies.
When he was placed in a care home he threatened to shoot and stab his care workers.
At Minshull Street Crown Court, Manchester, CCTV was played of the police pursuit in which Parkinson tried to shake off a patrol at speeds of more than 70mph in a stolen Ford Fiesta which he had fitted with false plates.
He is seen to drive on the wrong side of a dual carriageway at 3.40am before ramming an oncoming HGV.
Pc Christopher Haxby, who was in pursuit jumped out and tried to grab Parkinson, but the teenager reversed the Fiesta and propelled the officer backwards into the bonnet of the police car.
The officer managed to open the Fiesta door and drew his Taser to detain Parkinson. He suffered whiplash and back pain and has been forced off work.
Parkinson admitted assault occasioning actual bodily harm, aggravated vehicle taking, dangerous driving, driving while disqualified and twice breaching a criminal behaviour order.
Judge Mark Savill told him: “You have shown a lack of respect for the police and a lack of remorse. You have expressed no desire to change.”
