The suspects are believed to have been active since at least December 2024. They were taken into custody last Thursday in Sitzendorf an der Schmida (Hollabrunn district). In the vehicle used as a getaway car, the police secured various burglary tools.

The men, who allegedly stole tools, wine bottles, copper items, and utensils for wine production, were taken to the Korneuburg prison. Two suspects from Romania, aged 30 and 32, confessed to the crimes they were charged with. A 20-year-old Ukrainian partially confessed, while a 24-year-old Hungarian national denied the charges.
