Police officer run over by thieves backs 'Andrew's Law'
A police officer who nearly died after being run over by car thieves has added his support for mandatory life sentences for anyone who kills a member of the emergency services.
A campaign was launched by Lissie Harper, the widow of PC Andrew Harper who died in Berkshire in August 2019.
PC Gaz Phillips, 43, was critically injured in Birmingham a few days earlier.
He has made a remarkable recovery and on the first anniversary of the incident has just returned to work.
