‘Terrifying’ dashcam footage shows moment lingerie China ‘lunatic’ lingerie model took cops on 90mph chase before smashing into house and trying to flee on foot
THIS is the moment a lingerie model was chased by cops in a pursuit that reached speeds of more than 90mph – before she crashed the £9,500 BMW into a house.
Yasmin Katir was jailed over the high-speed police chase that saw her race over roundabouts and through a park before smashing her friend's luxury car.

The footage, described by a judge as"terrifying”, shows the 27-year-old lingerie model then fleeing the crashed car.
Jailed over the pursuit, Katir, put her head in her hands as she was led from the dock, saying:"I’m going to jail? Oh my God. You’re joking.”
In sentencing, Judge Sean Morris had told her:"Anyone who drives like a lunatic when there are blue lights behind must understand that they put life at risk.”

He added:"I’m not bothered about your life. I’m bothered about innocent lives and a policeman’s life.
“You are so lucky that you are not here on a manslaughter charge. You could so easily have been.
“The public need to know this. If people don’t stop when required to do so by police and choose to drive dangerously at speeds putting people at risk, then the courts will lock them up.”
Katir took her friend’s £9,500 BMW for two days after he invited her over for the evening on March 26.
She said she was going to buy cigarettes and took his car keys from near the front door.
But she didn’t come back and he couldn’t get hold of her.
