A teenage crimewave who stands at just 5ft 2in has bragged about his life of joyriding by posing from the driver's seat of a luxury £200,000 Rolls-Royce.

Kash Parkinson, 18, was so small he could barely see over the steering wheel of the Phantom supercar which was parked in a modest terraced street near his home.

But despite his tiny stature, Parkinson has proved a massive headache for police and locals due to the misery he has brought to his local neighbourhood.

Fed-up residents in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, reported him for repeated car and motorbike thefts.

He was also arrested for drugs offences, assault vandalism and even terrorising his own grandmother.

Magistrates put Parkinson on youth rehabilitation schemes and banned him from his regular haunts and associating with other yobs - but he just ignored a two-year criminal behaviour order - even booking taxis to meet his cronies.

When he was placed in a care home away from his family, he threatened to shoot and stab his care workers.

He also posted bragging pictures of himself smoking suspicious-looking cigarettes on social media and even has his own name spelt in cannabis leaves

But today, Parkinson was starting four years in jail after he mowed down and injured a policeman trying to detain him over a 70mph pursuit. He had been on bail at the time over another police chase in a different stolen car.

Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester heard he tried to shake off a patrol at speeds of over 70mph in a stolen Ford Fiesta which he had fitted with false plates.

During the three-minute chase on June 28 this year, Parkinson drove on the wrong side side of a dual carriageway at 3.40am before ramming into an oncoming HGV.

PC Christopher Haxby, who was in pursuit, jumped out and tried to grab Parkinson but the teenager reversed the Fiesta and propelled the officer backwards into the bonnet of the police car.

Despite his head hitting the windscreen, PC Haxby bravely got back to his feet and managed to open the Fiesta door and drew his Taser to detain Parkinson.

The officer suffered whiplash and back pain and had to take time off work. The cost of damage to the police car, Fiesta and the HGV was estimated at £14,100.

In the earlier incident, Parkinson and a group of friends stole a disabled man's Renault Scenic along with his disability scooter which was in the boot.

Police chased him again and blocked in the stolen car in a suburban street where children were playing - but Parkinson drove up onto the pavement, narrowly missing a child, before driving off at speed and losing the officers.

The Renault was found days later completely written off, and the disability scooter was also damaged to the stage it was deemed 'redundant'.

In court, Parkinson yawned and stretched his arms over-dramatically. He admitted assault occasioning actual bodily harm, aggravated vehicle taking, dangerous driving, driving whilst disqualified and twice breaching a criminal behaviour order.
