As Het Laatste Nieuws and TV Limburg explain, it all started when a patrol from the LRH police area received a call reporting a theft at an Aldi store in Hasselt. The thief had fled.
Quickly, the police went looking for him and saw a young man on a scooter that matched the description. When they asked the driver to stop, he refused and fled on the bike path.
Without thinking, the police, in their unmarked car, followed him on the bike path. This grotesque scene, to say the least, was filmed by a motorist. According to this witness, the driver of the two-wheeler even fell, before getting up and leaving: “There will soon be a death”, explained the man who filmed the scene.
Eventually, the police lost track of the alleged thief. His scooter was found a little further.
