State Police Special Task Force employees today, August 19, witnessed an unexpected event in the middle of the day. . The law guards, patrolling the nefarious car, received a call for a simple fact check that eventually turned out to be an arduous chase.
"
Shortly before 11.00 a.m., the police crew received information from colleagues about a suspicious car with foreign numberage marks that had stopped on the inside of Jelgava Highway. .
"
As they arrived, the police spotted a black BMW car in which a woman was filling the fuel from the can, and a man was at the wheel of the car, who jumped out of the vehicle as he spotted the approaching police car and tried to close its luggage compartment in a hurry. . Then both the driver and the passenger quickly returned to the car's interior.
"
One of the officers in the carriage went to the car to find out what had happened, but at that point the BMW driver locked the door of the car and began to escape. .
"
The police launched a chase and demanded to stop the vehicle, but it was ignored, and the driver of the car continued to flee, turning from Jelgava Highway to the old Jelgava Highway. . The BMW driver continued to race down the road, ignoring both the road signs and the permitted speed and the repeated demands of the police to stop the car. U. At some point, another crew rushed to help the police.
"
The driver of BMW was very reckless, and continued to grossly ignore the police 'demands to stop the vehicle, but the special tasks departments managed to jointly stop the driver of a BMW car whose escape ended in a ditch on the side of the road. A police service vehicle was also damaged during the chase, but no person has suffered.
"
After entering the ditch, the driver of the BMW fled, but he managed to escape only ten metres. . In the air of a warning shot, the law guards captured the aggressive young girl. It was established that the vehicle was driven by an 17 old young man without driving rights, as well as by the possible influence of narcotics.
"
The young man had broken a series of rules that he would have to answer before the law. The driver of the black vehicle did not only have the right to drive the vehicle, but the vehicle itself had removed the orgual number marks and was equipped with other countries' number marks, France and Germany, and the vehicle was not registered in accordance with the statutory procedures, no national roadworthiness testing was carried out, nor was it subject to mandatory civil insurance (OCTA)).
"
In addition to the above infringements, the young man will be required to make administrative infringement decisions, whether not to comply with the repeated or repeated requirements of such a person to stop the vehicle (for escape), to violate the permitted speed, or to disregard road signs.
"
Similarly, regarding the driving of a car without rights and the influence of narcotics, the law provides for criminal liability.
"
The police are now continuing to explain the circumstances, as well as explaining the origin of foreign numberists. .
