'Opportunstic' thief Gareth Dickinson has been jailed
A driver was thrown from the bonnet of his own car as he tried to stop a thief from stealing it. Gareth Dickinson was walking past the victim's house when he saw his Hyundai Tucson parked on the driveway of his home on Grand Union Way in Eccles, Salford.
'Opportunistic' Dickinson, 38, then got into the car and reversed off the drive with the man's dog still inside, bumping into a white van before driving away, Manchester Crown Court heard. After realising his car was being stolen, the driver 'jumped' onto the bonnet to try and stop the thief.He drove down the wrong side of the road, and a taxi driver had to slam on his brakes to avoid a head on collision.
He suffered cuts and bruises and a bump to his head. "He is very lucky that these injuries were not more grave, because they could have been," Dickinson's barrister said.
