Driver under the influence of drugs fled police in Košice with forged registration plates
Early on Tuesday, a patrol from the Košice district of the Criminal Police noticed an Audi with Polish registration plates. Police had previous intelligence that the vehicle's occupants had been involved in property crimes.
According to Lenka Ivanova, spokeswoman for the regional police, law enforcement officers signalled the driver to stop using lights and sirens. However, he ignored them, accelerated and attempted to escape.
The pursuit led from KVP Street via Wuppertálska Street to Moskovská Street. Beyond the bridge, the car turned onto Bratislavská Street, where police finally stopped it.
Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the figures on the plates had been altered – specifically, a three had been modified to resemble an eight.
A drugs test on the driver came back positive. Furthermore, he was not carrying a driving licence. Charges were brought against the man.
