Vehicular Evasion of Traffic Authorities - Two Suspects Apprehended
In an event that unfolded on Monday evening, September 1st, 2025, police in Dortmund apprehended two individuals in connection with a stolen car incident.
The incident occurred around 7:30 PM on Altnderer Weg in Lünen, where a patrol unit attempted to stop a car. However, the car in question attempted to flee, leading to a pursuit.
The ensuing chase ended when the car was found abandoned, and the search for the suspects began. One suspect, a 24-year-old, was located hiding in a children's play tunnel on Freiligrathstraße. The second suspect, aged 23, was arrested in a bike cellar on Schnakenbrockstraße.
Both suspects have a history of multiple appearances in police records. Remarkably, neither of them had a valid driver's license.
Investigations revealed that the car, which was later secured, was listed as stolen in the police system. Moreover, the license plate of the stolen car was found to be fake.
Corresponding charges for driving without a license, trespassing, theft of a motor vehicle, and forgery were filed against the two suspects.
Despite their previous criminal records, since there were no special reasons for pre-trial detention, they were released after appearing before a judge.
