On the A4 in East Hesse a motorist near Wildeck (Hersfeld-Rotenburg) is said to have broken a police cordon. Officials took up the chase, assisted by two helicopters. Nevertheless, they had to travel 150 kilometers before they could arrest two inmates in Thuringia near Arnstadt.
Shortly after midnight, the car stopped. For further details, the police were not available in the morning. Previously, several media had reported on the incident.
