A Belfast man who spat on members of the emergency services after crashing an NIE van he hijacked was handed a sentence totalling seven years and three months
on Friday.
The crime spree began around 9pm on February 16, 2021 when an NIE worker reported that his van had been hijacked on Agnes Street by two men - one of whom was Connors. Noting damage was caused to several vehicles during this journey, Judge Miller revealed that following the crash, both Connors and Carlisle were located in the cabin of the van.
When he was being interviewed the following day about the incidents, he threatened to damage the TV screen whilst being shown police body-warn footage.
