VW Golf GTI Driver Leads The Police To 150 MPH (240KM/H) Wild Chase

The driver of a VW Golf GTI has been arrested in the Netherlands after leading the police on a high speed chase.

In the lead-up to the chase, an officer pulled in front of the German hot hatch for a traffic stop along a highway exit road. Rather than stop, though, the driver of the Golf GTI quickly swerved back onto the highway and hit the throttle, quickly passing the police vehicle.

Unfortunately for the driver of the Golf, the exit road that the police vehicle had taken soon reconnected with the highway and a chase quickly ensued. Dashcam footage from the police vehicle shows it hitting at least 240 km/h (149 mph) in their attempts to keep up with the VW.

The driver probably thought they had a good chance of outrunning the authorities, but after turning off the highway and entering a smaller side road, they were soon confronted by another police vehicle that was stopped on the road and waiting for them. Footage shows the two individuals being aggressively pulled from the Golf GTI and taken into custody.

Local media outlet Westlanders reports that the driver did not have a valid driver’s license. In addition, police found a large amount of money that the suspect tried to hide in the hatchback. Both the money and the car were seized.

Running From The Police With A U-Haul Truck Is Not A Good Idea

If you want to try and outrun the police, the only real chance you’ve got is if you own a motorcycle or a performance car. Evidently, the driver in this video didn’t get the message.

This incident happened in Georgia back in March but we only recently came across footage of the chase thanks to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office channel on YouTube.

According to local police, they responded to a call from a local Walmart after a shoplifting incident involving a man. The suspect fled the scene of the alleged theft in a U-Haul truck and was heading northbound on GA-400.

At the start of the video below, the driver of the U-Haul truck intelligently pulls over and it looks like that is where the incident will end. However, shortly after officers get out of their vehicles and point their weapons at the man, he floors the accelerator and tries to drive away. As you’d imagine, a small U-Haul truck like this isn’t what anyone would call ‘fast’, so it’s not long before the police catch up and tail the man down the highway.

The driver continues to drive down the highway for quite some time, but before long, the officers successfully deploy a spike strip. Soon after, the front right tire of the truck falls off – but not even that stops the suspect. The driver subsequently exits the highway and while trying to cut through a section of grass near the highway, gets stuck in the dirt and tries to flee the scene on foot. Unsurprisingly, the officers soon arrested him.

The man was charged with theft by shoplifting, possession of cocaine, possession of drug-related objects, driving under the influence of multiple substances, obstruction of law enforcement officers, fleeing/attempting to elude for a felony offense, aggressive driving, and driving while license suspended or revoked.
