GUILDFORD, England (UPI) -- Three jewelry robbers have been sent to
prison thanks in part to a getaway driver who repeatedly slowed down
during a high-speed chase, police in Britain say.
Police said despite being behind the wheel of an Alfa Romeo sports car
34-year-old Neil Murray followed road regulations during a police
chase in the county of Surrey, slowing down repeatedly when entering
restricted areas, The Daily Telegraph reported.
The police chase occurred after Murray's two accomplices stole $99,000
in jewels from Simon Pure Jewelry Design in the town of Guildford,
police said.
Thanks to witnesses who wrote down the fleeing car's license plate
number, police were soon in hot pursuit.
Murray's cautious approach to getaway driving allowed police to stop
the car within a half an hour and arrest the three suspects.
The Mirror reported Murray and 31-year-old Bradley Jayes were
sentenced to five years in prison Friday for the theft, while a third
accomplice, Darren Tomlinson, received 10 years after pleading guilty
to an additional jewel theft.
The dates of the chase and the defendants' trials weren't reported.
