With a stolen electric car, thieves gave a chase with the police early Tuesday morning – which ultimately ended in a ditch.
At Neuenhagen near Berlin (Märkisch-Oderland district), car thieves crashed their previously stolen vehicle into a ditch.

The criminals had previously engaged in a wild chase with the Brandenburg police. The car was badly damaged, the thieves were able to flee on foot!
A large-scale search with helicopters, police dogs and roadblocks was initially unsuccessful.
Almost simultaneously during the night, a vehicle owner reported that his pickup had been stolen in Berlin. The police took up the pursuit using GPS monitoring. This also ended in a residential area in Neuenhagen.
Both vehicles were seized for forensic investigation.
