39 Offenses in Four Federal States – Police Arrest Criminal Trio
According to police information from Wednesday, 39 crimes in Lower Austria, Upper Austria, Vienna, and Styria have been attributed to three men aged 20, 29, and 30 after investigations by Schwechat detectives. These were primarily property crimes such as burglaries. The damage caused amounted to more than 250,000 euros.
Suspects confess
The crimes attributed to the Hungarian citizens were committed from January 9 to April 15. In addition to burglaries in companies, museums, vehicles, or containers, the Lower Austria State Police Directorate also mentions the misappropriation of non-cash payment methods, resistance to state authority, and coercion.
The 30-year-old was arrested in mid-April in Fischamend (Bruck a.d. Leitha district). In cooperation with the Lower Austria State Criminal Office, the other two suspects were also identified. According to Wednesday's information, the 29-year-old was already in custody at the Eisenstadt prison. For the youngest of the trio, against whom a European arrest warrant had been issued, handcuffs clicked in his homeland last Friday. The other two men confessed to all facts during interrogations at the Korneuburg prison, the State Police Directorate reported.
Almost ran over police officers during escape
During individual criminal acts, carried out with different personnel compositions, there were daring maneuvers and dangerous situations during the escape. When the 20- and 30-year-olds fled after a burglary in a company in Gramatneusiedl (Bruck a.d. Leitha district) on the night of March 29, police officers, as well as the company's boss, had to jump aside to avoid being hit by the men's cars.
Just over a week later, during the night hours of April 7, the 20- and 30-year-olds fled after a suspected preparatory act for a burglary in Strasshof an der Nordbahn (Gänserndorf district) with a car and crashed in a roundabout in Gänserndorf. The car overturned. The men remained at large because no criminal offense could be proven against them at that time.
