A 30-year-old man from Ghaxaq was jailed two years and had his driving licence suspended for a year after he admitted to a series of charges, including stealing a van and driving very dangerously.
The court heard that Aaron Axisa, who had a drug problem and was out on bail, stole a Maypole van last March and hit a number of cars as he was driving it.
He was arrested and taken to the inspector’s office, escaped and was caught a second time when he was found him in possession of a taser gun and scales.
