Overview
- In Uden, police recognized a driver wearing a wig to dodge a check, arrested him on the spot, and seized his car after he had earlier surrendered his license for drunk driving.
- Omroep Brabant links the case to a string of unusual escape tries across the region that often end quickly once officers or bystanders spot the suspect.
- In Tilburg in November 2025, a man jumped from a moving car that then rolled the wrong way into traffic, hitched an unsuspecting scooter ride, and was arrested on charges including ghost-driving, leaving a crash, driving without a valid license, and handling stolen goods.
- During a high-speed chase in May last year on the A2, a passenger jumped from a car after the driver hit 190 km/h and ran red lights, and neighbors helped police catch him as the driver later tested positive for alcohol and cocaine.
- In a 2020 Eindhoven case, a 21-year-old slipped into a police car but could not flee without the keys as officers used pepper spray to remove him, part of a years-long pattern that also includes vehicle jump-outs in 2016 and 2011 that damaged property and put others at risk.
