Three individuals under suspicion for a series of crimes, involving the use of alcohol, drugs, and an e-scooter
In a series of shocking events that unfolded on 12.08.2025, three men found themselves in hot water after a sequence of offenses that spanned across the cities of Bochum and Dortmund.
The drama began with a traffic stop on Essen Street in Bochum on Sunday evening. The Bochum police pulled over a VW Golf, driven by a 23-year-old man from Dortmund. The driver registered a positive alcohol test, setting off a chain of events that would soon involve e-scooters and multiple offenses.
The driver, along with his two passengers, chose an e-scooter as their mode of transportation after the traffic stop. Shortly after, the e-scooter drivers were reported to be driving on the shoulder of the A40 by a witness, leading to their apprehension by the authorities.
Upon arrival at the Bochum West Police Station, it was discovered that the driver's license was fake. Moreover, the e-scooter driver also tested positive for cocaine. The Dortmund e-scooter driver registered over two promille in an alcohol test, adding more charges against him, including driving under the influence of drugs, riding an e-scooter with two people, and driving the vehicle on the highway.
The Bochum police also found traces of cocaine in the VW Golf. As a result, the driver of the VW Golf, along with the other two men, now face charges for driving without a license, driving under the influence of drugs, and forgery.
The local news program, Ruhrgebiet, has also reported on this topic, shedding light on the offenses committed by the three men. The search results did not provide any direct or detailed information about these specific incidents, but for more extended and detailed information, it is recommended to check recent local police press releases from Bochum and Dortmund, local news outlets, or official law enforcement social media channels.
The e-scooter drivers' actions have not only raised concerns about road safety but also highlighted the need for stricter regulations regarding the use of e-scooters on public roads. The authorities are urging the public to report any suspicious activities involving e-scooters to ensure the safety of all road users.
