On Sunday evening, a Citroën Berlingo was stolen in Tartu, Estonia, that was equipped with a GPS device. The following day, around 1 PM, the authorities received an alert that the vehicle's GPS was active and indicating that it was moving away from Tartu. This prompted a police response to track the vehicle as it began to flee the scene.

The situation escalated as the driver engaged in dangerous maneuvers, reportedly exceeding speeds of 160 km/h during the escape. The police were actively pursuing the vehicle, leading to heightened concerns for public safety due to the reckless driving behavior exhibited by the suspect. The use of GPS technology in this case was crucial in attempting to locate and apprehend the fleeing individual.

The incident highlights the ongoing issues of vehicle theft and public safety concerns associated with high-speed chases. It raises questions about the effectiveness of current law enforcement strategies for dealing with such dangerous situations and the potential improvements needed in tracking and response mechanisms for stolen vehicles.
