A teenage driver who caused £10,000 damage after leading police on a 90mph chase through Halifax has been sentenced.
Adam Tanveer, from Masbrough, Rotherham, drove an uninsured Audi Q2 at high speeds through Halifax on April 14.
The 19-year-old had initially stopped after coming across a marked police vehicle and was told by officers to turn his engine off - but sped away, leading police to pursue him through Halifax.
During the chase, Tanveer forced two pedestrians to jump out the way to avoid being struck.
He also hit a single-decker bus, causing its bumper to be torn off.


The police pursuit ended when his Audi hit a van and another Audi containing a man and his daughter.
Police said thankfully no one was injured - but the damage caused by Tanveer was estimated to total around £10,000.
Tanveer received a 13-month detention sentence in a young offenders’ institution, suspended for 18 months.
He was also ordered to complete 200 hours of unpaid work and disqualified from driving for two years.


Sergeant Andrew Bingham of Calderdale’s Neighbourhood Impact Team, said: "This is yet another example of an offender putting members of the public at significant risk simply to avoid taking responsibility for their actions.
“As a result of the defendant's behaviour, numerous members of the public going about their daily business had their vehicles damaged, causing considerable inconvenience and financial cost, as well as impacting the wider community of Halifax.”
