Shortly before midnight, a patrol in Thun attempted to stop a van that had been reported as stolen in Bern the previous day. The driver, however, ignored the signals to stop and accelerated.
At significantly excessive speed, the man raced through several streets in the city. Officers continued the pursuit with flashing lights and siren activated.
The flight finally ended at a police checkpoint. There, officers were able to arrest the passenger at gunpoint. The driver, however, managed to escape.
An immediate manhunt for the fleeing driver was unsuccessful. The vehicle was seized. Investigations are ongoing.
