Watch as Ipswich man hides under Royal Mail van from police

Rigers Myqelefi, aged 27, was sentenced to 38 months in jail at Ipswich Crown Court on Friday.

On Thursday, July 3, officers from the Sentinel team saw Myqelefi leave an address on Harland Street on an electric bicycle.

The 27-year-old, who lives in Harland Street, evaded police by manoeuvring around the vehicle and riding off at speed.

Officers found the man under a Royal Mail van, within the chassis.
