The chase begins in Józefów
The incident took place in Józefów. Officers from the Otwock Road Traffic Department noticed a Peugeot passenger car and decided to check the driver's sobriety. Initially, the man slowed down, pretending to comply with the police orders. However, when an officer indicated the exact location for him to stop the vehicle safely, the driver suddenly accelerated and fled.
The end in Otwock and the arrest
The officers immediately pursued the fleeing driver. The high-speed chase ended in Otwock, where the traffic unit effectively and safely stopped the Peugeot. The car was secured and towed to a police parking lot. The detained man was transported to a detention center, where he will spend the next 15 months.
Legal consequences
During the check, it emerged that the 45-year-old had ignored four lifetime bans on driving motor vehicles issued by the court. Preliminary testing also showed that he was under the influence of a narcotic substance in the form of marijuana, and blood was taken from the driver for further tests. A check in police systems revealed that the man was wanted to serve a deprivation of liberty sentence of one year and three months. He was charged, among other things, with failing to stop for a traffic check and driving under the influence of narcotics despite the court-ordered bans.
