Nathan Blagg rammed a house with a tractor.
In May 2026, 28-year-old Blagg stole farmer Ian Tate’s tractor near Kirklevington and drove it to Priory Road in Middlesbrough: nine miles. The house was empty.
The impact meant almost the entire house had to be rebuilt. Blagg was sentenced to seven years and two months in prison, two years of extended supervised release, and a seven-year driving ban. At the trial, his lawyer said he had seen a video posted by his rival, Luke Lancaster, which allegedly showed him urinating on the graves of Blagg’s father and brother and tipping over a headstone. The judge took the provocation, the planning, and the damage into account.
