A drug dealer, David Sherratt, was arrested following a high-speed police pursuit on the M5 and M42 motorways while transporting £1.3 million worth of cocaine.
West Midlands police, supported by a helicopter, chased Sherratt's black Peugeot at speeds of 120mph on 17 April before deploying a stinger to halt the vehicle.

At Birmingham Crown Court on 7 July, Sherratt received a sentence of 12 years and nine months after pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of cocaine, possessing the drug with intent to supply, and dangerous driving.
