Teenage Brothers Investigated After Several Break-ins

The brothers, aged 13, 14, and 17, are alleged to have stolen three cars and a license plate from a car workshop in Vienna-Favoriten. They drove the cars to a mobile phone shop in Parndorf (Neusiedl am See district) as well as to an indoor swimming pool and a radiology institute in Gänserndorf, Lower Austria, to break in there, the police announced on Thursday.

Three Teenagers Were Caught

The teenagers were caught after they had broken into the Parndorf mobile phone shop last Wednesday night. Police found a heavily damaged vehicle with a Vienna license plate on a dirt road nearby, which had been stolen from a Vienna workshop. According to the police, the damage was likely caused by the teenagers ramming the roller door of the workshop's garage in order to escape with the vehicles.

The brothers were eventually found at their grandparents' house in Lower Austria. The 13-year-old, who was already being sought because he had fled from a shared living community, was returned to the same. The 14-year-old was reportedly delivered to the Eisenstadt prison according to the police, and the 17-year-old was reported while at large. Investigators found stolen goods and the keys to the stolen vehicles in the apartment. The two remaining cars were also found nearby and secured.
