Car Thieves Ram Police Vehicle Twice in High-Speed Chase

Published: 2023-12-25

Two men were arrested on Christmas Eve in Nässjö, Sweden after stealing a car and ramming it into a police vehicle twice during the ensuing chase.

The car theft occurred at a charging station around 8 PM.

The owner of the vehicle managed to track the car a few hours later, but the thieves rammed the police car and fled when the officers arrived.

After a three-hour chase, the thieves were cornered in a dead-end road.

However, they chose to back into the police car again before ultimately being apprehended a few blocks away.

The suspects, men in their 50s and 60s, are now facing a slew of charges, including drug-impaired driving, minor drug possession for personal use, vehicle theft, gross negligence in traffic, attempted serious assault against an officer, and serious illegal driving.
