Officer finds stolen moped during patrol

In an unusual incident that unfolded in Fürth on August 2nd, 2025, a 14-year-old was arrested for driving a stolen Honda moped under the influence of alcohol. The incident occurred at approximately 19:30.

The police officer, on his way to work in Heilstättenstraße, spotted the stolen moped that had been taken in Fürth during mid-July. Upon closer inspection, he confirmed that it was indeed the same vehicle that had been reported missing.

The officer initiated a stop, and it was confirmed that the 14-year-old driver did not have a valid license for the moped. Proceedings were immediately initiated against the minor for driving without a license.

A breathalyzer test was conducted on the 14-year-old, which revealed a reading of over 0.6 per mille, indicating that the teenager was under the influence of alcohol during the incident.

The stolen moped was recovered by the police in Fürth on August 2nd. However, the investigation into whether the 14-year-old was involved in the theft of the moped is ongoing. The search results do not provide the name of the 14-year-old or any information about the conclusion of the police investigation into the theft.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of underage drinking and driving, as well as the importance of obeying traffic laws. The authorities urge parents to take an active role in ensuring their children understand the risks associated with such behaviour.
