Overview
- During routine traffic checks around 10:30 p.m. on Nov. 20, officers signaled a Renault to stop in Chemnitz, but the driver sped away.
- The pursuit ended when the man halted, fled on foot, and was apprehended on Kreherstraße after passing through Bernhardstraße.
- A preliminary drug test returned positive results for amphetamines, cocaine, opiates and cannabis, and officers seized a firearm from his clothing.
- Police say the 24-year-old had no driving license, and investigations are underway into suspected weapons violations, unlicensed driving and driving under the influence.
- The Renault was later located and towed after he failed to prove ownership, with authorities now examining how the vehicle was obtained.
