Couple Arrested on Highway 3 with β¬87,240 Cash, Driver Without License
A routine traffic control on the federal highway 3 between Frankfurt and Kelsterbach turned into a significant operation for the highway police. A couple in an Audi A4 attempted to evade the police, only to be stopped and found carrying a large sum of cash.
During the traffic control, a driver in an Audi A4 attempted to overtake the police vehicle, disregarding the 'Closed' sign. The car was subsequently stopped, and a search revealed a substantial amount of cash totalling 87,240 euros with the 26-year-old female passenger. Further investigation exposed that the 28-year-old male driver was operating the vehicle without a valid driver's license. Both individuals were arrested and taken to the police station for further criminal proceedings. They were later released, claiming that the money was from their wedding and was being carried for security reasons. Despite the couple's explanation, the police are yet to confirm the source of the funds.
The incident highlights the importance of road safety and compliance with traffic regulations. The couple's unusual explanation for the large sum of cash has sparked further investigation by the authorities. The head of the Frankfurt am Main Police Headquarters is yet to comment on the ongoing case.
