A German motorist was arrested in Oeffelt at the beginning of the evening after a chase. The man had ignored a stop sign at the border with Germany and took off at very high speeds. On the provincial road just before Oeffelt, he was trapped by the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee, taken out of the car and arrested.
The man did not have a driver’s license. During the chase, the man flouted even more traffic rules. For example, he overtook very dangerously, while driving at an extremely high speed. The Marechaussee also investigates whether there are drugs in his car. Traffic was severely disrupted by the incident.
A woman was also in the car with the man. She was not arrested and had to continue her journey by bus.
