Collett Bartley

Public criminal case information in the UK indicates that an individual named Collett Bartley has been involved in several legal proceedings, primarily related to driving offenses.

Key facts, dates, and court decisions are as follows:

• June 10, 2026: Collett Bartley, 42, from Kirkdale, was involved in an incident where her car crashed into a Tesco Express in Sydenham. She was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving and driving while disqualified. Police reported her breathalyser reading was 61 micrograms, exceeding the legal limit of 35 micrograms.
• June 11, 2026: Bartley was charged with drink-driving and driving while disqualified and was scheduled to appear at Croydon Magistrates' Court on this date.
• June 8, 2026: Just two days prior to the Tesco Express incident, Collett Bartley was handed a six-month driving ban by Bexley Magistrates' Court. This ban stemmed from a separate incident on November 4 of the previous year (likely November 4, 2025), involving a crash in a Volkswagen Tiguan SUV on Woolstone Road, Catford. In relation to this earlier crash, Bartley was found guilty in her absence of driving without due care and attention, failing to stop after a road accident, and failing to report an accident.
• May 20, 2026: A first hearing for "Collette Bartley" (likely the same individual) took place at Bexley Magistrates' Court for charges including driving a mechanically propelled vehicle without due care and attention, failing to stop after a road accident, and failing to report an accident (Case Reference: 01TJ1161326).
• June 7, 2026: A "DISQ - Traffic Disqualification" hearing for "Collette Bartley" occurred at Bexley Magistrates' Court (Case Reference: 01TJ1161326).
• June 19, 2026: Croydon Magistrates' Court released Collett Bartley on unconditional bail following her guilty plea to drink-driving and driving while disqualified in connection with the Tesco Express crash. An interim driving disqualification order was issued, which will remain in place until her sentencing.
• August (2026): Sentencing for the drink-driving and driving while disqualified charges from the Tesco Express incident is scheduled for August.

It is important to note that while some records refer to "Collett Bartley" and others to "Collette Bartley," the details of the charges and the proximity of the dates strongly suggest these refer to the same individual. The court records emphasize that all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
