Rapid chase: burglars steal police cars in Walldürn!

Surprising turns and shocking events shaped the persecution trip of a 39-year-old Tunisian, which began last Saturday in the Neckar-Odenwald district and led to Bavaria. According to SWR , the police started in Walldürn after an emergency call to an car dealership in Alten Altheimer Strasse. The authorities reported the incident at 2:40 p.m., and only five minutes later the first patrol was on site.

The alleged burglar could not be grasped and initially fled on foot before taking a car. The following chase led him to Walldürn-Hornbach. His first accident occurred here, which apparently didn't stop the man. Instead, he threatened the police officers with an object and obtained a police radio patrol car with which he continued his escape towards Schneeberg.

The persecution ride increased in intensity. Another accident occurred on a forest path, in which a police car became unusable, as reported Presseportal But the chaos did not stop here-the 39-year-old deceived injuries and was able to get a police car again. His escape led him back to Walldürn-Hornbach, where he had an accident again before the police could finally arrest him.

A police officer suffered minor injuries during the turbulent events. During the persecution, there were also several police officers from both federal states, which illustrates the escalation of the situation. The property damage to police vehicles cannot be quantified at the present time.

Investigations and backgrounds
