Drug Dealer Sentenced to 18 Years for High-Speed Chase That Killed Three Men

Robbie Cook pursued the victims after being duped in a £3,500 drug deal, leading to a fatal crash in Eastbourne, East Sussex.

Robbie Cook, 39, chased three men through residential streets in Eastbourne after they sold him popcorn instead of cannabis in February 2023.
The victims, Daniel Davies, 21, Jonny Day, 32, and Jon 'Tommy' Miller, 36, died when their Citroen Berlingo crashed into a tree at over 50mph.
Cook admitted to causing death by dangerous driving and perverting the course of justice by destroying his phone after the incident.
CCTV footage revealed Cook searched the victims' wrecked car with a torch but did not call for emergency assistance, prioritizing recovery of his money.
Family members of the victims described their grief and loss in court, with Judge Christine Laing KC condemning Cook's actions as reckless and heartless.
