Motorcycle racer in Stade: chase with the police ends in a risky way!
In Stade, Lower Saxony, there was a daring chase between the police and two motorcyclists. The bikers were targeted by the police because they accelerated excessively and apparently raced through traffic uncontrollably. The incident occurred on June 13, 2025 when the police wanted to check the two drivers. Instead of submitting to a check, the motorcyclists preferred to flee. They overtook other vehicles and ignored red lights, making the situation extremely dangerous.
The riders of the bikes never missed an opportunity to increase the speed and roared along federal highway 73 at more than 180 km/h. Drivers who found themselves in danger as a result of these rapid driving maneuvers often had to take quick evasive action to avoid accidents. Given the high risks, the police ultimately decided to call off the pursuit. She is now asking for help and is looking for witnesses who may have seen the two dark motorcycles or who may have been endangered in the pursuit. You can contact the local police station.
