Kent Police Slam Chambers’ Reckless Attitude
“Joshua Chambers clearly has no respect for the law and appears unable to abide by the rules of the road, even when on temporary release from prison,” said Detective Sergeant Jay Robinson.
“His driving style put other road users and pedestrians in grave danger, and he will now spend a longer period of time behind bars as a result.”
