Prolific thief jailed after riding moped through market in bid to evade police

A prolific mobile phone thief who forced pedestrians to scatter as he rode his moped at speed through a street market in England has been jailed for more than three years, Scotland Yard said.

Cavell Hutson, 21, tried to evade police by riding through the packed shopping area in Hackney, east London, after an hour-long crime spree spanning five London boroughs.
