A DANGEROUS driver who was jailed for killing two people is back behind bars after being tasered while fleeing police in a stolen Land Rover.

Sean Creed, aged 42, of Welcomyn, Chalford Hill, was jailed for seven years in 2009 for causing the deaths of two people and seriously injuring another.

He is back in jail this week after being tasered following a dramatic police chase.

Jailing him for a year at Gloucester Crown Court last Monday, March 18, Judge Rupert Lowe, said: “I’d like to think that somebody involved in such a serious collision would have learnt their lesson but it seems you haven’t.”

Prosecutor Charlotte Evans said Creed's latest offence was committed while he was driving a Land Rover which was stolen overnight on February 15/16 last year from a garage on the Chalford Industrial Estate near Stroud while awaiting repairs.

Police in an unmarked vehicle spotted the vehicle around 1am in Cheltenham Road East, Gloucester as it appeared to be driving in convoy with another vehicle.

As officers pulled alongside they noticed the driver, Creed, was wearing gloves and had a snood over his face.

Blue lights were activated at a set of red traffic lights and an officer got out to challenge the driver but as the lights changed the vehicle sped off, said Ms Evans.

The driver then did a 180 degree turn and a chase ensued which saw him try to turn into a locked car park before reversing back out onto a dual carriageway and then carry out another 180 degree turn at a junction.

Creed then crossed the grass central reservation to turn into a dirt track, where he was tasered while trying to run off.

A knife with a blade exceeding three inches was found in his pocket.

The court also heard that text messages between Creed and another person were found asking how to override a Land Rover’s immobilisation device.

In his last text message Creed stated he was on his way and would take the vehicle to the usual car park.

Ms Evans clarified that there was no evidence that Creed had actually stolen the vehicle.

The court was told that one of the Land Rover's wing mirrors was smashed during the pursuit and the body had become detached from the main chassis, damaging much of the underside.

Despite investing more than £8,000 into the vehicle, the owner felt he had no option but to sell it at a substantial loss.

Catherine Spedding, defending said: “When Creed was involved in the collision that caused the death of two people in 2009, it also left him disabled having suffered a shattered leg and a brain injury, which still affects him today.

"He was released from this prison sentence on parole in 2014 and has stayed out of trouble until now. He has been unable to work because of his continuing disabilities.

“Creed accepts his part in the Land Rover enterprise, but he emphasises that he wasn’t the one who stole the vehicle.”

Creed pleaded guilty to careless driving, handling a stolen vehicle and possessing a knife.

He was banned from driving for six months from the day he is released from prison.
