Tank fraud in St. Stefan: Escape ends in a spectacular persecution

Von WOM

on Thursday morning in St. Stefan Ob Stainz, in the district of Deutschlandsberg, an exciting incident took place, which began with a suspected tank fraud. A 22-year-old man who was identified as Slovenian got into a chase after filling up at a petrol station without paying. At 8:20 a.m. the suspect drove away from the station with his gray car. A 21-year-old woman was sitting with him in the vehicle.

The petrol station owner who observed the campaign did not give up and recorded the persecution. He immediately alerted the police to receive support. This quick decision caused the police to take the case seriously and did research. The owner of the petrol station indicated that the 22-year-old showed a very risky driving style during the flight, which made the entire scenario dangerous.

The persecution finally led to the A2 motorway towards Vienna. Although the petrol station owner broke off the persecution at the Gleisdorf Süd exit, the suspect was not stopped. Instead, he continued at high speed towards Feldbach, where the police were finally ready to intervene. There he could be stopped and detained.

The Staz police inspection has already started a call to report to you if other road users have been endangered by the risky driving style of the man. Interested parties are asked to report on 059133/6112-100 to possibly clarify further details or report additional incidents.

This incident throws a light on the dangers of tank fraud and the potential risks that can arise from mischievous escape campaigns. Further information about this incident is in a report on www.meinbezirk.at Available.
