A stinger was needed to bring a car to a stop in Kenilworth on Sunday (August 11) after the driver hit 100mph on the A46.

The car had already gone over a stinger in Leek Wootton but continued until it reached Warwick Road where officers brought it to a stop outside the Shell garage and arrested the driver.

The 19-year-old man from Studley was later charged with failing to stop, driving without insurance and driving without a valid test certificate.

He will appear in court at the end of the month.
