Unlicensed Driver Stopped in Moers-Kapellen with Stolen Audi

On Thursday morning, a 22-year-old driver from Duisburg was stopped by police officers at the Moers highway patrol on the A57 towards Nimwegen. The driver was driving an Audi, but the license plates on the vehicle were tampered with and belonged to a Seat from Gummersbach city.

The driver claimed he had borrowed the car from a friend, but only knew his first name. However, the acquaintance who claimed ownership of the Audi was unable to produce a sales contract for the vehicle. The acquaintance also stated that he had acquired the vehicle through an exchange, but could not provide proof of ownership for the Audi.

The police impounded the Audi to determine ownership, and the driver admitted to the officers that he did not have a valid driver's license and had never possessed one. Multiple criminal charges were filed against the unlicensed driver.

During the traffic stop, the driver called the person he claimed to have borrowed the car from, but the acquaintance was unable to provide a sales contract or proof of ownership for the Audi. The driver's identity and the identity of the car's owner remain unknown at this time.

No further information about the Seat from Gummersbach was provided, and the search results do not name the friend who lent the Audi to the unlicensed driver with false license plates involved in the accident. The incident serves as a reminder to always drive safely and legally, and to ensure that you have proper ownership documentation for any vehicles you are driving.
