Cody Lowndes
A fugitive from Ashton who taunted police after absconding from hospital while under arrest for high-value car thefts has been jailed.
Cody Lowndes (aged 22), of Lakeside Avenue in Ashton, was sentenced to six years and two months in jail at The Lowry Nightingale Court, Salford, on Monday.
The court was told how Lowndes had been arrested in July earlier this year after a series of high-value car thefts in the Ashton, Denton, Stalybridge, and Mottram areas - totalling approximately £140,000.
All the cars later appeared on sale on social media.
