Police Catch Motorcycle Thief in Vienna-Landstraße Red-Handed

Police officers from the Kürschnergasse police station noticed a man standing at the roadside next to a lit motorcycle. During a driver and vehicle check, the man, a 20-year-old Syrian national, claimed he had observed a teenager crashing the motorcycle and then running into a park.

Man in Vienna-Landstraße was taken to detention center

After a witness contradicted the account and identified the 20-year-old as the driver, he confessed to having stolen the motorcycle earlier in the 3rd district. The officers arrested the suspect. The motorcycle was returned to its rightful owner. Two pliers, which the suspect allegedly used to hotwire the vehicle, were secured. During the interrogation, the 20-year-old refused to make a statement. By order of the Vienna public prosecutor's office, he was taken to a detention center.
