Adam White's decision to drive after the intruders lost him his £60k-a-year job, his freedom and, most tragically, his unborn child
A dad who chased burglars in his motor has told how his "moment of madness" ruined his life after he ended up in prison. Adam White said his decision to drive after the intruders cost him his £60k-a-year job, his freedom and, most tragically, his unborn child.
He said he tried to write to wife Lindsay but couldn’t because his “eyes were so full of tears. Explaining, he said: “I got through it by thinking about getting home to my kids. I had two other people in my cell and I felt cockroaches scurrying over my bed covers at night. We were all sharing one toilet, it was degrading. I hated it.
Adam was held at HMP Bedford for two weeks then moved to HMP The Mount in Bovingdon, Hertfordshire. In September, three years after the fateful night, Adam was released on a home detention curfew to return to Lindsay, 34, and his two stepchildren in Leighton Buzzard, Beds.

I ran to a woman’s house and asked her to call the police and my wife.”
This week Adam took the brave decision to appear on the Channel 4 show 24 Hours in Police Custody, despite fearing a public backlash. Instead, a stranger was so moved by Adam and his family’s plight that he launched a GoFundMe page to help them which has raised over £160,000.
