Overview

• Berlin police stopped two men, aged 39 and 42, around 00:50 in Mitte after they revved at a red light and accelerated toward Lützowufer before the signal changed.
• Officers confiscated both high-performance cars and the drivers’ licences at the scene after a patrol pursued the vehicles with lights on.
• In Wiesbaden, three cars repeatedly raced along Taunusstraße; police stopped two drivers, aged 19 and 20, while a third participant was not found.
• Wiesbaden officers opened investigative proceedings, securing the detained drivers’ mobile phones and vehicles based on the early-morning incident and witness reports of coordination.
• A night earlier, a plainclothes unit reported two cars racing at about 170 km/h on the A100 near Berlin-Britz, reflecting the broader pattern under investigation.
