Man pleads guilty to multiple vehicle offences in Hemel Hempstead

Dear Resident

A man has pleaded guilty to multiple vehicle crime offences committed in #HemelHempstead.

David Garrett, aged 24, from Warners End Road in the town, was arrested on Wednesday morning (7 January) following the theft of a motor vehicle from a residential driveway overnight. Several vehicle interferences were also reported on the same evening.

He was detained after police received a report into the control room that a vehicle was being driven erratically in Hemel Hempstead. The vehicle was located and followed by officers from Response team before it eventually came to a stop after the tyres deflated.

The case was picked up by detectives in the Crime Investigation Department (CID) and Garrett was subsequently charged with:

• Four counts of vehicle interference

• Theft of a motor vehicle

• Dangerous driving

• Driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence

• Driving with no insurance

He appeared before Hatfield Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (8 January) where he pleaded guilty to all offences.

He was remanded into custody ahead of a sentencing hearing at St Albans Crown Court on Friday 30 January.
