A burglary victim who reacted like any 'reasonable right-minded' homeowner has been cleared of causing the death of a teenager who was fleeing on his stolen motorbike.
Callum Duncan, 28, was woken around 6.30am on January 24 last year by the noise of a gang of burglars breaking into the shed at his home in Stockport, Greater Manchester.
They had known bikes were stored in the shed after seeing one for sale on Facebook.
The burglars, Dean Barnes, 16, Alexander Riley, 21, and Adam Norman, 36, fled on Duncan's three off-road bikes and he immediately gave chase - reaching speeds of 36mph in a 20mph zone in his Golf GTi.
Barnes was forced to abandon the Yamaha PW50 - commonly known as a 'Pee Wee' - he was riding.
