  • The driver left his car and accompanied police to the Dresden‑Nord station, where a report was filed.
  • Two friends arrived in a Mercedes Citan to pick him up, and their parking difficulties prompted a check.

  • The 19-year-old who parked the van had no driver’s license, and officers initiated additional reports.
