Viennese Teen Gang Committed Two Car Break-Ins & One Robbery in One Night
Two 15-year-olds (nationality: Bulgarian and unclear) and a 16-year-old Austrian citizen are suspected of having robbed a 34-year-old passerby of his wallet using a baseball bat. They are also said to have demanded that the victim accompany them to an ATM to withdraw more cash. When the man refused and provided a false PIN code, the men left him and fled.
Youth gang caused trouble in Vienna-Donaustadt
During an immediate search, the three teenagers were arrested around 5:15 a.m. near the U1 station Kagraner Platz. During the subsequent personal search, officers found, among other things, another ATM card, a driver's license, and a wristwatch - suspected loot from two car break-ins that were also committed that night. The baseball bat used in the crime was also secured by the officers. It was thrown away during the escape and turned out to be a foam prop.
The accused refused to make a statement. The 15-year-old Bulgarian national was reported at large. The other two teenagers were taken to a detention center by order of the Vienna public prosecutor's office.
