After Motorcycle Theft in Vienna: Victim Pursued

A 26-year-old victim noticed through a technical device on his motorcycle that his vehicle was moving, reported police spokesman Markus Dittrich on Thursday. The Viennese man pursued a van with another vehicle, in which four BMW bikes were eventually found. The pursuit led beyond the state border into the Czech Republic.

Arrest in Czech Republic after Motorcycle Theft in Vienna

The 26-year-old Viennese man who had pursued the suspect notified the police emergency call shortly before the Czech border, reported the Vienna State Police Directorate. Subsequently, a cross-border cooperation with the Czech authorities was initiated. The police of Vyskov eventually stopped the described van with stolen license plates in the municipality of Ivanovice na Hané - about 90 road kilometers from the Austrian border.

All four stolen motorcycles were secured in the cargo area. The 33-year-old driver was arrested on the spot and is in custody in the Czech Republic. His extradition to the Austrian law enforcement authorities is being prepared and is expected to take place in the coming days, reported Dittrich. Further investigations, particularly regarding possible accomplices and the clarification of the entire course of events, are being conducted by the Vienna State Criminal Police Office, West Branch.
