A red BMW being driven by Sobiechowski collided with parked vehicles. The BMW was found to have numerous dangerous defects and modifications which resulted in the vehicle being prohibited from the road.

On September 30 last year, at around 10.55pm, Wiltshire Police were called to a road traffic collision in Hawksworth Industrial Estate at a car meet. Roads Policing Officer PC Beales said: “Sobiechowski’s actions were incredibly dangerous and it is fortunate that there were no serious injuries.
“It is incidents like these that led us to set up Operation Staysail, the force response to car meets, around two years ago, as they endanger the public and can cause a significant amount of disruption to local residents.
“On this occasion, Sobiechowski put a number of people in danger and he has now been disqualified from driving.

“We will continue to target those who break the law, however, and ensure they are robustly dealt with and put before the courts.”
