Police stop 25-year-old drug driver without a license in Stockerau

Drugs and a motorcycle license plate originating from Vienna were also seized. In addition, the license plates mounted on the vehicle had been used fraudulently, as police emphasized.

Finds in the Vehicle

The young Viennese man was reported to the public prosecutor's office as well as the Korneuburg district administration. The authorities are now reviewing the further consequences arising from the multiple violations of the narcotics, weapons, and motor vehicle laws.

The incident is part of a series of checks in which police in Lower Austria are specifically targeting drivers without a valid driving license. Just recently, relevant focal-point operations in the Korneuburg region had led to several reports being filed.

Official Consequences

Police pointed out in this context that operating an unregistered vehicle in combination with drug use and the carrying of prohibited weapons fulfills a large number of offenses. The Korneuburg public prosecutor's office will decide on further criminal proceedings.

The accused is at large according to police information. No information was initially known about any possible conditions or an arrest. The investigators' inquiries are ongoing.

The exact scope of the seized addictive substances was not quantified by police. There were also initially no further details regarding the origin of the motorcycle license plate from Vienna and its intended use.
