Caught on the run

Meat tiger caught by Swiss police

Swiss police tried to stop a suspect on Sunday, but he stepped on the gas and caused an accident. During the subsequent search of the car, the officers found plenty of suspicious items.  

In Altstätten in the neighboring canton of Sankt Gallen, a Swiss police patrol became aware of a driver on Sunday. The driver stubbornly ignored the officers' attempts to get him to stop. Instead, he stepped on the gas, left the road and crashed into an embankment. The arrest followed. It turned out that the Romanian did not have a driver's license. He was also not "fit to drive" - a blood and urine test was ordered.

Burglary
When the police officers looked around the car, they discovered all sorts of suspicious items, such as tools and suspected stolen goods, especially food. The officers also fished out a bag full of meat and sausage products from inside the car. These had previously been stolen from a store in the course of a burglary. The Romanian is facing a veritable hail of charges.
