CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE.** WORDS BYLINE: Louis Walker Dramatic footage shows the moment police arrested two men following a high-speed pursuit after jewellery and a Porsche were stolen during a burglary. Shaun Cloke, 35 and Rio Cox, 22, have been jailed after they broke into the property in Cliff Road, Birchington, in Kent, on January 14. Police were alerted to the theft, and the stolen Porsche Macan was soon located by patrols on the A299 Thanet Way, where officers flagged the vehicle to stop. The Porsche continued travelling erratically and at speed, pursued by patrols, and collided with a Tesla in a failed attempt to undertake. Shortly after the collision, the stolen car came to a halt on a slip-road and Cox and Cloke fled on foot. They were swiftly detained, and both were charged the following day. The vehicle was returned to its owner, as were items of stolen jewellery recovered from the vehicle. Cloke and Cox pleaded guilty at Canterbury Crown Court to burglary and aggravated vehicle taking. Cox also admitted dangerous driving. On Wednesday, April 1, Cloke, formerly of Lark Row in Hackney, was jailed for two years and two months. Cox, formerly of Guerin Square in Bow, was imprisoned for two years. His sentence took into account two burglaries he carried out in Sussex in August and December 2025. Detective Constable Casey Prior said: “Cloke and Cox showed blatant contempt for the law, for the victims whose home they violated, and for every member of the public placed in danger by their reckless attempt to flee. “Driving a stolen high-powered car at speed and colliding with another vehicle demonstrates the sheer level of risk they were willing to inflict on innocent people. “Thanks to the decisive actions of our officers, these brazen criminals were swiftly detained. “The prison sentences handed down send a clear message. “Criminals who think they can come into Kent, commit burglaries and tear through our roads with no regard for others should expect to be relentlessly pursued and held to account.”
