A pair of scrotes with convictions a mile long decided to rob a house while the occupants were inside. They scarpered on a stolen motorbike, one without a helmet on, and the man of the house chased them down in his car and knocked them off, causing them to slam into a parked car, resulting in life changing injuries for them.
One of them hobbled into the police station a few weeks later and claimed he had no recollection of the incident, but he could recall he'd lost a gold chain and a bag containing £100.
Four weeks after their accident, the pair of them were stopped by the police in a car with false number plates. At the police station after their arrest, they told the desk sergeant they had discharged themselves from hospital, and one of them, the one without a crash helmet that suffered a fractured skull, admitted he still had bleeding on his brain, and beacuse of that, shouldn't have been arrested.
The bloke who mowed them down received a 22 month prison term, but the lifelong criminals were spared from prison becuse their injuries would have made their lives too difficult inside.
