Cocaine courier blew kiss in court after crashing stolen motorbike

Thomas Kehoe, 29, of Lathum Close, Prescot, has been jailed for a range of Class A drug supply charges plus driving matters after crashing a stolen motorbike into a car in Runcorn. (Cheshire Police)

A drug courier blew a kiss in court after he crashed a stolen motorbike into a car leaving him unconscious in the road.

Thomas Kehoe, 29, of Lathum Close, Prescot, appeared at Chester Crown Court on Friday where he faced sentence for a range of charges relating to activity in Runcorn and Birmingham. Oliver King, prosecuting, told how Kehoe had attracted the attentions of the authorities in Birmingham on February 18 when detectives had been watching a white van driven by Kehoe as it visited various residential areas, stopping for a short time in each one, and decided to intervene.

When the vehicle parked up in a cul-de-sac and Kehoe emerged, a detective approached to speak to him, but Kehoe saw them, jumped back in and tried to drive off. Another police car pulled across his path, “boxing him in”, so Kehoe abandoned the van and ran away.
