Teenager appears in court charged with driving offences following collision in Northampton and police dog chase

Lee Venni, of Victoria Promenade, appeared at Northampton Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday March 17, following an incident earlier that day.

The 19-year-old faced five charges, which were: dangerous driving, failing to stop for an officer, driving while disqualified, driving with no third-party insurance and failing to stop after a road collision.

According to Northamptonshire Police, he was also wanted on recall to prison.

The driving charges relate to an incident in Booth Lane South at around 1am on March 17, after Venni allegedly failed to stop for officers. Police Dog Ebby took over the chase after a collision. Venni was then arrested.

Venni’s case was sent to Northampton Crown Court. He has been remanded in custody ahead of his next hearing, which is due to take place on April 30.
