A 24 Hours in Police Custody driver was jailed after chasing two would-be burglars and crashing into their motorbikes.
Monday night’s episode of the Channel 4 documentary saw officers called to the scene after Adam White, 34, had pursued Taylor Benford and Ryan Paul, both 25.
White, an electrician, explained he had ‘heard some noise’ and saw them ‘breaking into our house’ and then got into his Mercedes 4×4 to follow them after they fled.
The father-of-two said in the programme that he ‘didn’t realise how sharp’ a bend was, which mean his car ‘hit the back of their motorbikes.’
The voice-over said the ‘two suspected burglars were seriously injured and were rushed to hospital to be treated.’
They added one of the would-be burglars had suffered a spinal chord injury and was airlifted to be seen by specialist medics.

The show aired the moment police told White he was being arrested for Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH).
In shock, White said: ‘I’m not going to prison for this am I?’

While not aired on 24 Hours in Police Custody, White was jailed in February for 22 months for causing serious injury by dangerous driving at Luton Crown Court.
At the same court, Benford and Paul were given suspended sentences and 200 hours community service for the attempted burglary.
