A man is facing serious drugs charges after fleeing a police officer because he didn’t have any lights on his bike.
On Monday night, the 22-year-old was ordered to stop in Zurich so he could be told to put lights on. Instead, he turned and fled.
After a short chase he was caught and found to have 220 grams of marijuana, 90 grams of hashish and more than CHF 4,000 in cash.
He was detained for further questioning.
