Chasing a thief. The police used weapons
The man blocked the path of police cars several times, trying to push officers off the road. Since the driver posed a threat to other road users and continued not to respond to signals, the police decided to use their service weapon.
At one point, the driver of the Volkswagen wanted to do this to avoid hitting the rear of the vehicle in front of him, he decided to overtake on the right and went off the road, ending his mad escape in a ditch.
There were 4 people on board the vehicle being chased: two women, aged 19 and 21, and two men, aged 19 and 28, all sober. One of the men is currently understood to have a driving ban from the court. Additionally, officers found dry plants in the car. Initial investigations show that the substance seized was marijuana.
