Persecution was broken off in Hadres
The patrol pursuit was broken off in Hadres – “due to the risky driving style and the danger to other road users and pedestrians” posed by the speeder, as it was said in a broadcast from the Lower Austria State Police Directorate. The Croatian, who admitted to driving at high speeds, was investigated on Sunday. When questioned, the teenager said he fled because he didn’t have a driver’s license.

An electric stun gun in the form of a flashlight, a prohibited weapon, as well as two stolen license plates were seized. One set comes from Austria, another from Serbia. The accused stated that he had found the Austrian plaques lying on the street. He claims to have received the two pieces from Serbia as a gift.
