A woman drove off in a van from a dealer in Barneveld during a test drive on Wednesday. The black Volkswagen Multivan was found in Ede thanks to a tracker. A police spokesperson confirmed this to NU.nl after reporting by the AD.
The dealer called the police when the woman was gone for too long. A police helicopter helped with the search.
But the vehicle, worth approximately 85,000 euros, was equipped with a built-in tracker. This allowed the dealer to quickly see that the van was parked on the Akulaan in Ede.
The woman who took the van appears to have used false papers, the spokesperson said. The identity of the woman is still unknown.
A recovery company has picked up the van.
