A tradesman who chased a van through Shifnal at high speed after he suspected the drivers of stealing his tools has had a video of the pursuit go viral.
Dezzie Dodd said that when he saw who he believed were the thieves that broke into his van, he decided "he wasn't going to let them get away", so the self-employed contractor decided to give pursuit as wife Kylie sat in the passenger seat.
His dashcam footage following the incident on January 8 has now gone viral after it was posted to Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, and it has received thousands of views, likes and comments.
