Neubrandenburg/Friedland (dpa/mv) - Three young people were in a chase with the police in the Mecklenburg Lake District with a stolen company van. Early Monday evening, a driver informed the police in Neubrandenburg about a chaotically moving van - it was a previously stolen car from a Friedland kitchen studio. The man followed the transporter and gave his position again and again. Several patrol cars were dispatched. When the 16-year-old driver of the van noticed the police, he accelerated and fled in the direction of Dewitz - he drove over fields and forest and meadow paths, the police said. Finally, the officials were able to stop the car just before the Linde river near Dewitz.
The 16-year-old is already known to the police for other crimes. He had consumed illegal drugs before driving, according to a test, according to the police. The 16-year-old had to give a blood sample to a clinic and was then handed over to his parents after consultation with the public prosecutor, along with his two 14-year-old passengers.
