Man Rammed Tractor Into Rival's House over 'Disgusting' Grave Video
Blagg was jailed for seven years and two months after a revenge attack that left a house needing major repairs and a farmer with £56,000 in losses.
On Friday, Nathan Blagg, 28, was sentenced to seven years and two months in prison after stealing a tractor and ramming it into a Middlesbrough house linked to his rival, Luke Lancaster during an ongoing feud.
Retaliation followed an ongoing feud after Lancaster desecrated the graves of Blagg's father and brother, posting 'distressing footage' online and previously driving a car into Blagg in Middlesbrough town centre.
Blagg stole the £30,000 tractor from farmer Ian Tate near Kirklevington and drove nine miles to smash it into the Priory Road house, which 'essentially had to be rebuilt' while the tractor required £56,000 in repairs.
Homeowners described living in 'constant fear' after residing in the house for 24 years, while Recorder Paul Reid called the attack an 'appalling chain of events' that forced the family to evacuate for safety.
Five days after the tractor incident, Blagg crashed a stolen Jaguar into a lamppost at high speed, seriously injuring his passenger; the judge banned him from driving for seven years citing 'enormous amount of damage' caused.
