Rapid escape in Nuremberg: 37-year-old arrested-police are looking for witnesses!

Erlanger Werner-von-Siemens-Straße, 91058 Erlangen, Deutschland - A rapid police operation in downtown Nuremberg ended with the arrest of a 37-year-old VW driver who had withdrawn on Wednesday evening (13.02.2025). Around 9:25 p.m., the driver of a VW Lupo noticed a strip crew, ignored the recovery signal and raced through Maxfeld and Erlangen at excessive speed. He disregarded numerous red traffic lights, collided with warning and endangered other road users before finally being stopped in Werner-von-Siemens-Straße.

When arresting, it turned out that the driver was under suspected influence of drugs and had no valid driving license. The VW and the license plates were apparently stolen. In addition, police officers found a shotgun and a small amount of narcotics in the vehicle. An arrest warrant against the man was enacted, while the police have further investigations into numerous crimes, including dangerous intervention in road traffic. Witnesses and victims are urgently asked to contact the Nuremberg traffic police.
