Rage sends Rolls Royce through a Tesco window

An angry motorist who drove his classic Rolls Royce into the window of  Tesco after a dispute over a mattress, has been jailed for 16 months.

Robert Caton, 50, ordered a bed from Tesco Direct, which was delivered with no mattress, leading him to complain to the manager of the supermarket giant’s Andover branch.

Unhappy with the suggestions, Mr Caton drove his Rolls Royce Silver Spirit into the store on May 20 this year, five minutes after he warned a security guard of his plan.

Six shoppers, including a pregnant woman needed hospital treatment following the incident and, as the Telegraph reports: “£60,000 worth of damage,” was caused.
