THIS is the moment two drug dealers tried to get away from police by speeding and running red lights.

Video footage played at Southampton Crown Court shows the moment Zak Blake and Tyler Williams raced through the streets of Southampton in a silver Ford Focus. 

The pair, who were part of Stanley Woods' drugs gang supplying  cannabis, cocaine and MDMA across Hampshire and Dorset, led officers through the streets of Swaythling.

The chase on June 27, 2020 saw the car being driven at "high speed", the court was told, running red lights and overtaking other vehicles. 

On one occasion the car almost crashed into another vehicle as police followed closely behind. 

The pursuit was brought to an end when more officers became involved, cutting the pair off in a residential street.
