Oakham Driver, from Derwent Drive, Oakham, Rutland, charged After 10-Mile Police Pursuit Across Lincolnshire

Oakham Driver, from Derwent Drive, Oakham, Rutland, charged After 10-Mile Police Pursuit Across Lincolnshire. 

A 20-year-old man from Oakham has been charged with a string of driving and drug offences following a 10-mile police pursuit that ended when his car broke down.

Finn Weston, of Derwent Drive, Oakham, was arrested on Sunday afternoon, September 13, after leading officers on a chase across Lincolnshire.

The incident began at approximately 4:00 PM when police spotted a silver Ford Focus on the A153 at Sleaford. Officers signalled for the vehicle to pull over, but the driver ignored the request and continued to flee.

The pursuit extended for a further 10 miles before coming to an abrupt halt when the Ford Focus suffered mechanical failure, forcing the driver to pull over in a layby near Tumby.

Finn Weston was subsequently taken into custody and charged with five separate offences, dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, possession of drugs, failing to stop for police and driving without insurance

Vandalism Strikes Council-Owned Property on Princess Avenue, Oakham, Amid Relocation Discussions

Vandalism Strikes Council-Owned Property on Princess Avenue, Oakham, Amid Relocation Discussions

A vacant property on Princess Avenue, situated on Oakham’s Royce Recreation Ground and owned by Oakham Town Council, has been targeted by vandals who smashed a gate and fencing.

The mindless damage has sparked local concern, drawing attention to the vacant site just as the Town Council renews efforts to evaluate the building for its own future use.

Following the discovery of the damage, at least one town councillor initially questioned whether the forced entry might have been tied to debt collectors who have been attempting to gain access to the vacant premises.

However, a closer inspection of the scene told a different story. Evidence gathered at the site suggests that bricks may have been deliberately used to smash through the boundaries, pointing instead to acts of mindless vandalism rather than professional enforcement action.

The timing of the vandalism has thrown an unexpected spotlight on the property, which is located near the area's popular play spaces and outdoor facilities.

Just last week, the Town Council took proactive steps by re-establishing a dedicated working group. The working group has been tasked once again with investigating the viability of the council relocating its operations directly to the Princess Avenue premises.

As local representatives weigh the potential for bringing the council-owned building back into active use, the council is likely to face renewed calls to tighten security and address the vulnerability of the site against further anti-social behavior.
