Christopher Leeds, 35, became angry after arriving late to pick up his benefits and was told that he needed to return to the job center after the weekend.

The DailyMail reports that Leeds indeed returned at 9.30am on Monday.

The seething serial offender, convicted of 83 different offences, tried to speak to the manager but was told he needed to use the phone to complain. That seemingly was the straw that broke the camel's back, or at least the one that broke the front of the building.



'He returned to his vehicle and then drove out of the car park, narrowly missing passers-by,' said Robert Warner, prosecutor.

'He continued to drive his car down the stairs at the front of the jobcenter through the glass front door right through into the entrance.' Leeds, who stopped just 4ft from the reception desk, was bundled out of his car by security staff.

He told police he was angry and did not regret what he had done.

Supt Dave Marshall, of Norfolk Police, said last night: 'His actions put members of the public and workers at risk and I hope this sentence acts as a warning to other people considering taking matters into their own hands.'
