Steven Regan is accused of criminal damage to gravestones in the Church Warsop cemetery A man has been charged with a string of offences after a JCB was driven through a Nottinghamshire village, leaving a trail of destruction.
Steven Regan, of Leeds, was held after the vehicle was driven through Church Warsop, near Mansfield, on Saturday.
Other vehicles and headstones in a cemetery were damaged in the rampage.
Mr Regan, 34, is accused of the theft of the JCB, various driving offences and criminal damage. He is due before Mansfield Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
The motoring offences he is charged with are dangerous driving, having no insurance and no licence.
The JCB is alleged to have been stolen from Barratt Homes on Sandilands Way in Forest Town, Mansfield.
The police helicopter was deployed during the pursuit of the vehicle, which finally came to a stop after puncturing a tyre.
Mr Regan, of Colenso Terrace, also faces three charges of criminal damage in relation to the headstones and a count of burglary after a JCB was taken from a unit in Leeds in June.
