It looks like the video game “GTA” and happened yesterday in the USA: A 33-year-old man, who was questioned by the police about another matter in a motel in Cocoa, Florida, stole a police car on the way home and sped away with it . The police immediately went into pursuit but failed to stop the man immediately, according to the regional WFTV.
Only in about 100 kilometers north of Volusia County can a police officer ram the thief in the police car from behind during the chase, so that he comes off the road. He ends up in a wooded area and the car is totaled.
After escaping in the first police car – the escape follows in the second
But the 33-year-old is far from defeated. The police surrounded the demolished police car with their weapons drawn, but the thief managed to escape again. And steals the next police car! With this he thunders off again immediately and wants to escape on the highway.
But he doesn’t get very far this time – because the police have long since blocked the street and distributed nail blocks on it. The tires of the second stolen police car are stabbed – and the thief has to break off his escape. Only now can the police arrest him.
According to Volusia County police, no one was injured in the rapid chase or arrest. (fr)
