BPOLD-B: Federal Police Stop Car Thieves in South Brandenburg

At around 1 a.m., Federal Police officers intended to check a Hyundai with German license plates on the B320 in the town of Lieberose. The driver initially evaded the police check, but then abandoned his attempt to flee when he recognized another Federal Police vehicle with blue lights in front of him. The 27-year-old Polish driver could not produce any vehicle documents and was also operating the vehicle without a key.

Three hours later, at around 4 a.m., the officers checked an Audi with German registration on the A15 motorway at the Cottbus South junction. Here too, the 46-year-old Polish driver had neither proof of ownership nor a vehicle key for the car.

The Federal Police officers temporarily arrested both men and initiated investigations on suspicion of receiving stolen goods and particularly serious theft against the 27 and 46-year-olds.

The Brandenburg Police took over the further processing of the two cases due to their jurisdiction.
