The police officers had a good nose when they checked a car with a Hungarian registration on the B472 near Blomberg at around 1.25 a.m. on Saturday night.
Bad Tölz - The driver, a 58-year-old Hungarian, showed a Ukrainian driver's license during the check.
This was recognized on the spot as a “total fake,” according to the police report.
When searching the car, the officers also found a total of 28 kilograms of copper cable in the trunk.

When asked about their origin, the man admitted that he had stolen them from a construction site.
The police prohibited the Hungarian from continuing his journey and the stolen goods were confiscated.
Since the 58-year-old does not have a permanent residence in Germany, he had to pay a security deposit of 3,500 euros before he was released.
The investigation into the exact origin of the cables is ongoing.
