A Slovenian had his BMW refueled in St. Stefan ob Stainz (Styria) and then ran away – without paying the bill. The courageous junior boss (24) drove after him to Feldbach and called the police. She was eventually able to catch the 22-year-old.
The gas station in St. Stefan ob Stainz has been considered one of the cheapest in the region for years – “and although we try to keep prices as low as possible, people are still being robbed!”
Milan Tschuchnigg-Nagy is audibly irritated when he tells the “Krone” about his experience on Thursday morning. “It was around 8 a.m. when a driver stopped at our gas station. My mother filled up his gray BMW with gas, but when it was time to pay, he suddenly accelerated. She just said, ‘Stop, stop!’ shouted.”
Alarmed by the loud screams, the 24-year-old got into his car, which was parked in the direction of travel, and gave chase. “The man accelerated and raced towards St. Stephen, passing a school, which is particularly critical at this time. His wild driving maneuvers put some people in danger.”
Undeterred, Tschuchnigg-Nagy was on the phone with the police. “I then turned onto the highway in Lieboch and saw the gray car again a little later near Seiersberg.”
The hunt took the brave West Styrian all the way to Feldbach, where he informed the local police station. There, officers were eventually able to arrest the fuel fraudster (a 21-year-old was sitting in the passenger seat).
What irritates the junior boss, however: “During the chase, police officers told me several times on the phone that another post was now responsible and that I had to call them. That’s a loophole!”
