Motorcyclist jailed after being caught on CCTV riding bike into McDonald's

A "career criminal" has been jailed after ploughing his motorbike into a McDonald's restaurant.

CCTV footage has been released showing the moment Jordan Roberts terrified customers in Wrexham, Wales, when he brazenly drove into the fast food restaurant as they ate, North Wales Live reports.

The video shows the yob careering into the branch on a mini motorbike as customers came in and out, before pulling a wheelie and driving out again.

A customer can be seen aiming a swipe at him as he sped out and back onto the street.
