Stolen car on the A2: Czech desperately tries to escape!
During a routine check on the A2 near Arnoldstein on November 18, a stolen vehicle was discovered after the driver, a 34-year-old Czech, fled from the police. According to gailtal-journal.at, the driver ignored the police stop signs and continued his journey before he was finally stopped by a police patrol.
The vehicle the driver was driving was reported stolen in the Czech Republic. He was unable to produce a driver's license during the check and told the officers that he had bought the car from an unknown man in the Czech Republic at a "cheap price". The circumstances of the acquisition and the origin of the vehicle are currently unclear. He was initially reported on suspicion of receiving stolen property, while investigations were also initiated against him for several administrative violations, reports meinbezirk.at.
Background on stolen vehicles
The incidents surrounding stolen vehicles are not new. According to digitpol.com, Digitpol operates an international database that records stolen cars, motorcycles and other vehicles from various regions of the world. This database includes registered stolen vehicles from the US, EU, Asia, Africa and the Pacific.
If a vehicle is listed in the database, it is officially considered stolen and is being actively searched for. Buyers are encouraged to verify the vehicle identification number (FIN/VIN) before making a purchase to ensure the vehicle has not been reported stolen. If a vehicle is stolen, it is important to contact the police and, if necessary, Digitpol immediately to initiate international searches.
The current events on the A2 underline the importance of traffic surveillance and the active search for stolen vehicles in order to both increase safety on the roads and effectively combat crime.
