Why It Matters
Six young people from Gladbeck, Gelsenkirchen and Dortmund aged 13 to 15 were involved in an incident with a stolen vehicle.
Six minors went on a nighttime chase with the police in Münster - a 13-year-old was behind the wheel of the stolen car. The teenagers, aged between 13 and 15, fled after a burglar alarm, sometimes at extremely high speeds, and also used the oncoming lane, as the police reported.
According to police, the boy in the driver's seat ignored stop signals on Monday night, instead accelerated and drove the car towards the city center. At times he accelerated to up to 146 kilometers per hour, the police said. He drove over a central island, ignored a red light and overtook other vehicles on the opposite lane.
After the 13-year-old ignored a red light again, there was a collision with the car of a 30-year-old, who - like his passenger - suffered a shock. For the six teenagers from Gladbeck, Gelsenkirchen and Dortmund, the wild ride ended with minor injuries. They were handed over to their parents at a police station.
