During a major inspection in the border region with Poland, three drivers with stolen cars broke police barriers.
As a police spokeswoman said on Thursday in Neubrandenburg, two cars were later found near Grimme and Blankensee (Vorpommern-Greifswald).
The cars were stolen in Hamburg.
The drivers fled on foot.
Löcknitz / Neubrandenburg - A third vehicle that broke a police barrier near Löcknitz has disappeared.
Nobody got hurt.
"Such breakthroughs also show us how important and correct our regular joint controls at the border are," said Nils Hoffmann-Ritterbusch, Police President of the Neubrandenburg Presidium.
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is particularly affected by cross-border crime because of its location as a transit country to Eastern Europe.
Above all, car and truck theft as well as property crimes such as break-ins and theft of tools and pesticides are focal points.
