E-scooter driver with manipulated insurance in Duisburg blown up!

An e-scooter driver is targeted by the police during a traffic control in Duisburg on Wednesday afternoon. The 37-year-old was stopped on Laaker Strasse at 3:10 p.m., and the officials quickly discovered that the vehicle was insured as part of an e-scooter sharing program-however, the original company paint was deliberately overstretched.

After a thorough review, the information about a large-scale fraud was condensed: the e-scooter was technically manipulated, which made the company impossible access to essential functions such as location and blocking the vehicle. The police then initiated investigations to clarify the background of these brazen manipulation.
