Simpson was caught stealing a motorbike and ran from police.

Marco Simpson was previously accused by a judge of “pulling the wool” after getting out of community service.

But the 19-year-old’s chances finally ran out when he was brought back to Leeds Crown Court and jailed.

The court was told that after being excused community service, Simpson continued to attend probation appointments but was leaving early and refusing to engage.
