A man has admitted throwing a child’s booster seat out of the window towards a police car during a terrifying high-speed chase.
Tony Winchester was a passenger in a car leading officers on a dangerous pursuit across the city – taking in Mastrick, Cults, Garthdee, the city centre, Danestone, Bridge of Don and the harbour.
The driver of the car, Kieran Ord, previously admitted a string of charges and was jailed for 18 months.
But now Winchester, 33, has pled guilty to a charge of culpable and reckless conduct over throwing the car seat from the moving vehicle while police followed behind.
Ord, 31, hit speeds of 90mph and at one point rammed a police vehicle as he desperately tried to shake the police cars during the 25-mile chase.
The incident began just after 3am on November 9 2021 when Ord failed to stop for officers at the junction between the Lang Stracht and North Anderson Drive.
Chase eventually brought to end by brave officers
The high-speed chase covered various of Aberdeen.
But the court previously heard: “After turning onto North Deeside Road, Aberdeen, a child’s booster seat was thrown out of the passenger window in the direction of the pursuing police vehicle.”
Aberdeen Sheriff Court previously heard a detailed account on the pursuit and how it was eventually brought to an end by brave police officers.
At the most recent hearing for Winchester, of Charlotte Street, Aberdeen, Sheriff Graham Buchanan further deferred sentence for background reports to be prepared.
