Norfolk Man Jailed for Drug Supply and 119mph Driving While Banned

Police say seized phone footage helped secure the conviction.

Overview

  • John Scott, 36, of East Harling, was sentenced to three years and nine months at Norwich Crown Court and given a further 10-year driving ban.
  • Officers arrested him on December 12, 2025 and seized his phone, which held evidence he helped supply cocaine across Breckland.
  • The phone also contained footage of him driving at 104mph on the A1066 from Thetford to Diss before reaching 119mph on a single-carriageway road.
  • Another clip dated June 16, 2025 showed him singing to the camera while driving near Banham during a five-year ban imposed in December 2024.
