Young Mofa operator eludes law enforcement authorities

In a recent incident, a juvenile found themselves in hot water after a traffic stop on Eistalstraße in Mertesheim, Germany, on a Friday evening.

The juvenile was initially stopped for a routine traffic check, but things took an unexpected turn when they accelerated and turned onto a field path after the patrol car turned around. This action raised suspicions, leading to a more thorough investigation.

Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the juvenile was driving without a license, a violation that has prompted the initiation of a criminal investigation. The juvenile's father, who also appeared during the traffic check, was informed that he too faces a criminal investigation for allowing driving without a license.

The father, it turns out, is the owner of the moped the juvenile was driving. The juvenile admitted to removing the governor from the moped, a move designed to make it faster than the permitted 25 km/h. This confession has led to additional charges under the Motor Vehicle Tax Act.

The head of the Polizeidirektion Neustadt/Weinstraße was not explicitly named in the provided search results. However, Alexander Graczyk, who became the head of the Polizeiinspektion Wörth as of September 1, 2025, and has held leadership positions at the Polizeiinspektion Neustadt in the past, is not confirmed as the current leader of the Polizeidirektion Neustadt/Weinstraße. The investigation is ongoing, and further details will be released as they become available.

The juvenile was found hidden between glass containers and bushes during the search process, highlighting their efforts to evade the authorities. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of obeying traffic laws and the consequences that can result from disregarding them.
