The faces of 10 offenders jailed for crimes linked to Derbyshire

Police and judges have captured and recently punished a number of offenders at our courts for offences linked to Derbyshire.

Below are some of the more serious and dreadful cases to have recently passed through our region’s courts including Derby Crown Court where some victims have been left traumatised.

Offenders have been involved in a murder, stealing luxury cars, an assault and sexual offences and a dangerous driver triggered a high-speed police pursuit through Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

In another case, police caught a man dealing drugs in Chesterfeld town centre after he was found with 80 wraps of crack cocaine and heroin, a knife and a large amount of cash.

And one sex offender who assaulted a girl has been jailed and placed on the Sex Offenders' Register for life after he pleaded guilty to a sexual assault and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.

But judges have punished these offenders with custodial sentences of varying lengths.
