German police say they have arrested a 57-year-old trucker whom they accuse of carrying out 762 shootings on European highways over the past five years.
“We found the famous needle in a hay stack,” said Joerg Ziercke, chief commissioner of the German Federal Criminal Police. “A dangerous criminal who on several thousands of kilometers of highway in Germany, France, Belgium and Austria would reach for a gun whenever, wherever to shoot at other vehicles and endanger people’s lives. It’s unprecedented in Germany criminal history.”
Ziercke says the suspect — who was not identified as per German law — blamed road rage for his attacks. The trucker was arrested Sunday.
