CCTV footage has been released of a group of young men performing dangerous stunts in a car outside a supermarket in Harrogate.

North Yorkshire Police released the film which was used to convict Samuel Lee Cooper, 25, of dangerous driving last month.

The footage shows a red or orange hatchback being driven around the car park of the Asda store in Bower Road.

A number of young men are clinging to the outside of the vehicle and, at one point, one of the them opens the boot and jumps inside.

North Yorkshire Police said Cooper was banned from driving for 18 months and ordered to take an extended driving test when he appeared at Harrogate Magistrates' Court on September 23.

Officers said he pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and driving with no insurance.
