Man denies falsely reporting Jaguar's brakes failed on M62
A man has denied falsely reporting that his Jaguar's brakes had failed before his car had to be boxed in by police on the M62. The ECHO previously reported that patrols from Merseyside Police's Matrix unit were called out in order to safely stop the vehicle on the eastbound carriageway of the motorway on the afternoon of March 6 last year, ultimately bring it to a halt between junction 11 for Birchwood, Warrington, and junction 12 at Eccles. Nathan Owen has since been charged with a string of alleged offences in connection with the incident. These include counts of dangerous driving on the M62, M57 and M58, as well as intentionally or recklessly causing a public nuisance. READ MORE: Council issues statement after people question 'ridiculous' situation in town centre READ MORE: Council library decision paused as 'disrespectful' staff don't turn up One charge of fraud meanwhile accuses Owen of falsely informing a car finance company that his Jaguar I-PACE was "accelerating on its own", with its brakes also being "unresponsive", in order to make a gain of more than £4,000. A second fraud matter alleges that he then made similarly fictitious reports to the S*n and Daily Mail in return for payment. The 32-year-old, of the Grove in Prestatyn, North Wales, appeared before Liverpool Magistrates' Court this morning, Wednesday, in order to face these charges. Appearing in the dock wearing a black zip-up top and glasses and sporting short dark hair and a beard, he spoke to confirm his name, address and date of birth before pleading not guilty to all four counts. The panel of magistrates sent the case to the crown court due to the seriousness of the matters. Owen, who was represented by Elizabeth Manning, will now therefore appear before Liverpool Crown Court on September 10, being released on unconditional bail ahead of a plea and trial preparation hearing on this date.

‘Lawless' e-bikers planned Florida street takeover but police were ready, cops say
Illegal street takeovers typically involve souped-up cars performing dangerous stunts in traffic, but one Florida city says it busted a 'lawless' street takeover by bikers. Not motorcyclists, mind you. Police say these were people on e-bikes, which are bicycles fitted with electric motors to make pedaling easier. The Port St. Lucie Police Department says social media posts revealed a 'planned e-bike street takeover' was set for the second weekend of August on SW Village Parkway. 'Officers with our Traffic Unit were prepared. They located the group of about 50 participants as they began to show up at the meet location, some from as far as Palm Beach and Tampa, including juveniles and adults,' police said in an Aug. 12 news release. 'Multiple participants were turned away and warned as they arrived with their e-dirt bikes on trailers. Our message is clear, lawless street takeovers will not be tolerated in Port St. Lucie!' Three people were arrested on charges including fleeing and eluding police, having no driver's license and operating an unregistered motorcycle, police said. Six criminal traffic citations were issued for operating unregistered motor vehicles on roadways and 15 citations were written up 'for various traffic violations.' Eight e-dirt bikes were seized and towed away on the back of a truck, police said. Maps show the intended location for the takeover at SW Village Parkway and SW Crosstown Parkway is an expansive intersection of four-lane roads with grass medians. The department's Aug. 12 Facebook post about the case had 2,700 reactions and comments within a day, some critical of police and others making fun of the suspects' sense of adventure. 'Lol, e-bike take over! This Harley Riding Girl has had her laugh for the whole year!' VL Lynn posted on the department's Facebook page. 'All get our golf carts and try it,' Bonnie Shaw Croteau wrote. 'Oh yes, people on electric bikes are such dangerous criminals,' Filius Mortis Shotts said. Port St. Lucie is about a 115-mile drive north from Miami.
