An incident in Risum-Lindholm on Sunday alerted security experts and shows the challenges with which the police are faced with traffic offenses. Around 5:45 p.m., the police received a hint of a blue Mercedes with NF license plates. This vehicle, whose tire was flat, was on the grounds of a fast food restaurant, a fact that indicates possible illegal activities.

The persecution begins

When the driver of the Mercedes noticed the police officers, he immediately fled towards the village street of Risum-Lindholm and continued his journey across Street Üüle Browäi, up to the B5 to Stedesand. This decision to flee led to a potentially dangerous situation on the streets.

maneuver of the driver and arrest

The police took up the vehicle. At the confluence with the Hans-Peter-Feddersen-Straße, the Mercedes slowed down and the driver began to climb the back seat, while the vehicle slowly came to a standstill without control. This risky maneuver is not only a threat to the driver himself, but also for other road users.

Investigations and considerable violations of the rules

The officials were finally able to get the driver out of the vehicle and quickly discovered that he was under the influence of narcotics. He neither had a valid driver's license nor was the Mercedes approved. In addition, false license plates also drove, which could result in additional legal consequences.

In view of the risky driving style of the driver and the possible danger of other road users, the Niebüll police station has initiated an investigation. The authorities ask for people who may have been endangered by the driving behavior of the Mercedes. Contact is requested on 04661-40110 or by email to niebuell.pr@polizei.landsh.de
