Teenager Robbed in Vienna Seestadt

The gang surrounded the victim at 4:30 PM on the Seestadt Promenade and took 100 euros from his shoulder bag, the state police department reported. Several suspects were apprehended as part of the immediate search measures initiated.

Three Teenagers Arrested

Three native Syrians aged 14, 15, and 16 were recognized by the victim and several witnesses and were provisionally arrested. A 20-year-old compatriot who was with them had nothing to do with the crime committed immediately before, but was wanted for arrest by the Vienna public prosecutor's office due to a previous serious robbery. When the officers attempted to execute the arrest warrant, the 20-year-old initially tried to flee, then threatened the officers with murder, and finally resisted with kicks and punches. Two police officers were injured in the process and had to receive medical first aid from the Vienna professional rescue service and were subsequently taken to a hospital.

20-Year-Old Taken to Detention Center

The 20-year-old was charged with suspicion of resisting state authority and serious bodily harm and was transferred to a detention center by order of the Vienna public prosecutor's office. The 14-year-old, the 15-year-old, and the 16-year-old were charged with suspicion of robbery.
