A trial is axed after a Wigan man finally admits to dangerous driving and aggravated vehicle-taking


A young Wigan motorist who damaged a car he had taken illegally then driven dangerously will be sentenced at crown court
A judge will sentence a Wigan 25-year-old after he finally admitted to dangerous driving and other motoring offences.
Lewis Roberts, of Warrington Road, Ince, had originally appeared before borough magistrates to deny driving a Citroen C1 dangerously along various roads in Ashton-in-Makerfield on June 13 last year.
He also pleaded not guilty to failing to stop for police, the aggravated taking of the vehicle in that it was damaged before it was recovered, and driving without insurance or a licence.
But at a later hearing he changed his pleas to guilty.
Roberts will learn his fate from a Liverpool Crown Court judge on October 13, before which he has been released on unconditional bail.
