No driver's license

Escape from Tyrolean police: car stopped at the border

Scenes like in the TV series "Alarm for Cobra 11" took place on Friday evening in Kufstein in Tyrol. The police wanted to stop a 47-year-old known to the police who was driving his car without a license. It was only at the border that the German federal police were able to put an end to the "rampage". The man was arrested.

"At around 7.45 p.m., the Kufstein police station received a report that a 47-year-old Austrian was driving his car without a license. In the course of the search measures that were initiated, the car with the driver, who is known to the police, was found in the Kufstein area," said the police. Two police patrols immediately took up the pursuit, but despite several attempts to stop him, the 47-year-old managed to drive onto the A12 in the direction of Kiefersfelden at the Kufstein-Nord highway exit.

Several charges are pending
However, the journey was over right at the checkpoint. "Officers from the German federal police were able to enforce the stop and arrest the driver," explain the Tyrolean colleagues. Although the safety of other road users and passers-by was endangered several times, fortunately no one was injured. "Once the investigations have been completed, the driver will be reported to the relevant authorities," said the investigators.
