Police in Bayreuth are hunting burglars after three suspects allegedly rammed a car into a jeweller’s shop and stole valuable items.
The attack happened at around 3.40am. The suspects drove into the business with a vehicle, took valuables, and then escaped in a second car.
Police later spotted the getaway vehicle on the A9 motorway heading south. Officers began a pursuit.
At the Weidensess junction in the Bayreuth district, the suspects left the motorway, abandoned the car in a wooded area, and continued on foot, police said.
An expanded search followed, involving police patrols, service dogs, drones and a helicopter. Officers are still looking for at least one suspect.
Two men were arrested. Investigators are now checking whether the two suspects were involved in the burglary.
Police said the public should not pick up hitchhikers in the area. Anyone who sees suspicious people should call 110.
