Patrol becomes aware of Königsdorfer because he drove through a red light
An immediately initiated manhunt in the urban area was unsuccessful.

At around 2.30 a.m. at the intersection of Bahnhofstrasse / Osterleite, one of the stripes noticed a Fiat Punto ignoring the red light there.
"The officials therefore decided to check the car that was driving the Osterleite in the direction of Lenggrieser Strasse," said the police press report.
