- We received calls from the plaintiff who was then sitting in his car and chasing after these two who had seized goods in his home, says Evelina Olsson, spokesperson for the police.
Several patrols
The police sent several patrols to the area and received regular updates from the robbed man.
- At first they drive towards Simrishamn, then back west towards Sankt Olof and there at highway 19 we are waiting for the car.
But despite the fact that the police patrol on the spot signaled for the car to stop, the driver accelerated - and drove into the police car.
- Then they continued further south, but there we had more cars waiting.
In addition, a nail mat had been laid out.
The vehicle slowed down
When the driver saw the nail mat, the car slowed down and the two were arrested.
They are suspected of robbery.
- But it's only initially.
Given the high speed and the fact that they drove into a police car, there will be additional criminal classifications, says Evelina Olsson.
No person was injured in the hunt.
