Car Thief Caught Red-Handed in Vienna-Währing

Shortly thereafter, police officers from the Schulgasse inspection arrived and caught the 41-year-old car thief as he was rummaging through a car he had presumably broken into. The man claimed it was a misunderstanding and was initially cooperative. Suddenly, however, the car thief fled and was pursued on foot by the officers into a nearby community building.

Car Thief Caught While Fleeing from Vienna Police

There, the 41-year-old car thief ran full force against the entrance door of a stairwell and broke it open. In the stairwell behind it, an officer was finally able to apprehend the man. However, the alleged car thief resisted so violently that he and the officer fell down several steps. The officer injured his knee and had to discontinue his service. The 41-year-old was temporarily arrested and searched. In addition to possible stolen goods, a pocket knife and drugs were found and confiscated. In the course of further investigation, it turned out that the man had already been temporarily arrested on December 28 for a burglary in a cellar, but was later released and charged at large. The man was charged with suspicion of multiple burglary thefts, serious bodily harm and resistance to state authority, as well as under the provisions of the Narcotics Act. On the orders of the Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office, he was taken to a Vienna correctional facility.
