Motorcycle robbers have a hard time: police are looking for witnesses!

Betzenstein, Deutschland - On Sunday afternoon, March 9, 2025, a serious motorcycle accident occurred in the Upper Franconian district of Bayreuth, which is in direct connection to a tank fraud. Two young people, a 16-year-old from the Leipzig district and a 19-year-old from the Ostalb district, had fueled their motorcycles in Plech and then drove away without paying. According to Fireworld.at , one of the two drivers was involved in an accident on the federal road B2 at Betzenstein.

About 30 minutes after the tank fraud, the 16-year-old came off the street at an excessive speed and crashed into the guardrail. Due to a crack in the tank of his 600 Kawasaki, lit fuel ignited, which led to a spectacular fire. The seriously injured driver had to be flown to Erlangen with a rescue helicopter. He was also identified as one of the tank fraudsters because there are video recordings of the petrol station, such as tag24.de reported.

Investigations against the drivers

The other motorcyclist who was traveling with a pledged license plate could also be grasped at a resting place on the A9 in the direction of Berlin on the same day. He also had no valid driving license and his motorcycle was not allowed. The police are now asking for information from witnesses who have seen the two motorcycles in the colors green/black and red/black or can provide information about the route of the two drivers and the accident. The officials are available on 0921/506-2330.
