Rohan Astle

Rohan Astle has been associated with several criminal legal proceedings in the UK, primarily in the Kirklees (Huddersfield) area.

Key facts, charges, and court proceedings include:

• Counterfeit Currency: Rohan Astle was charged with "Custody / control a thing knowing it was a counterfeit currency note with intent" (Case Reference 13KD0550925). A first hearing for this charge took place at Kirklees Huddersfield Magistrates' Court on May 20, 2026, at 9:30 AM. He was found with £780 in counterfeit notes after a search in Holmfirth in March 2025, and a subsequent search of his bedroom uncovered more. Astle, who was 19 at the time, admitted to having the counterfeit currency.
• Dangerous Driving and Related Offences: Astle pleaded guilty to a charge of dangerous driving in a court appearance approximately two weeks before May 21, 2026. This charge stemmed from a high-speed police chase in Holmfirth where he drove at speeds up to 91 mph, narrowly missing a pedestrian with a pram. He also admitted to driving without insurance.
• Court Decisions and Outcomes: The matters related to both the counterfeit currency and dangerous driving were adjourned until June 30 (presumably 2026) to allow for a pre-sentence report to be prepared. For the dangerous driving and related offenses, magistrates handed Astle a 12-month community order. The court noted that Astle had made changes in his life and started a car valeting business since the offending.
