Car thief caught after 160 kilometers

The German police have arrested a car thief but needed a hot pursuit over nearly 160 kilometers.

With sometimes speeds of 200 kilometers per hour, the man managed to stay out of the hands of the police for a long time, but at Neuruppin, about 160 kilometers away, things went wrong. He lost control of the wheel, scoured for about 100 meters along a crash barrier and then collided with a police car.

The 28-year-old Pool was slightly injured, according to German media Thursday.
