As part of a civilian focus patrol regarding car break-ins, officers from the special unit for combating street crime in Vienna (EGS) noticed the suspicious behaviour of a young man in a public car park in the Vienna city centre.

The man repeatedly traversed the parking rows of the garage in the Vienna city and conspicuously looked into all parked cars. In the third basement, the officers saw the man searching an expensive SUV through the open passenger door. Shortly afterwards, he left the car with a leather backpack and disappeared through an emergency exit.

Car Burglar Arrested by Vienna Police

The officers found him in the stairwell of the garage, where the obviously surprised man was in the process of searching the backpack, which was presumably stolen from the car, for valuables. When the officers identified themselves, the man fled, but could be apprehended in the immediate vicinity of the garage and temporarily arrested. During the arrest and subsequent search of the 17-year-old, the leather backpack and a low four-figure euro sum in his jacket pocket were secured. The money could be assigned to the owner of the broken into car. The further investigations were taken over by the Vienna State Criminal Police Office, branch office Centre/East.
