In Kaliningrad, a Mercedes-Benz driver who tried to flee during a routine document check was stopped by police, according to the Telegram channel MVD Media. The incident began when officers discovered that the car bore a ban on its registration and was linked to a debt exceeding 400,000 rubles during the verification of documents. Realizing the car’s status, the driver suddenly accelerated, attempting to escape. The traffic police pursued the vehicle, bringing the situation under control through a series of coordinated actions. The chase concluded when law enforcement used control measures to halt the car, and officers fired their service weapons to stop the violator.
The vehicle finally halted after it damaged its wheels, and the driver retreated into the cabin, refusing to exit. Officers then forced entry by breaking the window and unlocking the doors, apprehending him. The confrontation highlighted the dangers faced by officers during roadside checks when suspects try to evade lawful enforcement. The operation required rapid, careful decision‑making and close coordination to protect public safety while securing the suspect in a controlled manner.
Earlier reporting noted that a restraining measure had been imposed on Alexander Semenov, the son of a former Krasnodar police chief. Semenov had been detained for one month and five days and then taken into custody under applicable legal procedures. The new Kaliningrad incident adds to a broader pattern of enforcement where authorities address vehicle regulation violations and debt‑related registration bans with procedural diligence and firmness.
