Police took the keys from a tractor driver in Kufstein in Tyrol after aggressive behavior, creating a “remarkable” photo at a gas station. Now the vehicle, which weighs several tons, has disappeared again.
After several traffic violations in the past, a police stop with a lot of swearing and an ‘escape’ in which an officer was apparently almost hit, the executive council – as reported – put a strange end to the activities of a farmer for the time being.
In the middle of a gas station in Kufstein, the tractor was surrounded by two police cars while refueling and the key was taken from the driver. The vehicle caused astonishment among passers-by and motorists. The tractor was even decorated with plush chicks and flowers.
Anger videos and emails against the police and authorities
The agricultural machine, which weighed several tons, then blocked a BP gas pump on Schubertstrasse for ten days. In several TikTok videos, the tractor owner launched a full-scale attack on the police and the district administration. In a written ‘clarification’, he not only criticized the behavior of the ‘overwhelmed officers’ during the traffic stop, but even wrote about a ‘planned sabotage action’.
In the email, the Unterländer also announced that he would charge 3,000 euros in ‘development costs’ per hour as long as he does not get the tractor key back.
On Thursday afternoon, after the “Krone” contacted the man, things moved very quickly. The tractor suddenly disappeared as if by magic and reappeared a short time later in nearby Langkampfen. “The keys have been handed over again,” Herbert Haberl from the Kufstein district administration shed light on the darkness – without wanting to comment on the specific case.
