Two pickpockets were caught by the Vienna police on Saturday during pickpocketing incidents.
As part of a targeted patrol to combat street crime (EGS), officers noticed the conspicuous behaviour of two young ladies in downtown Vienna during the pre-Christmas traffic on Saturday.
Two Reports for Suspicion of Commercial Theft
The 18-year-old and the 23-year-old were caught red-handed by the officers at the Vienna Graben during three attempted and two successful pickpocketing incidents and could be temporarily arrested. The two women were reported on suspicion of commercial theft and theft within the framework of a criminal association. On the instructions of the Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office, they were transferred to a correctional facility.
