Tue, 29 May 2018

A man who entered closed roads ahead of yesterday's TT practice session has been sent to prison for four weeks.

James William Ford pleaded guilty to obstructing or hindering the conduct of a race and failing to comply with requirement imposed by a marshal.

Ford, of Bingley in West Yorkshire, was given a four-week custodial sentence and an exclusion order for five years.

Ford entered the road at Crosby, resulting in a delay to yesterday's practice.

The police warn they will continue to support race organisers by way of robust action against those who ignore road closures.
