A 38-year-old man from Wrocław was apprehended following a 120 km high-speed police chase through several counties in Lower Silesia, including Jawor, Kamienna Góra, and Wałbrzych. The pursuit began after officers attempted to stop a vehicle for faulty license plate lighting, but the driver ignored commands and caused a minor collision with a police cruiser.

Investigations revealed the individual was already wanted to serve a six-month prison sentence for driving despite a judicial ban and had his driving privileges revoked in 2022. He faces potential charges for endangering road safety and driving without a valid license, which could lead to a lifetime driving ban.
