Wanted Burglar Fled with E-Scooter: Arrest in Vienna-Rudolfheim

During their patrol, officers from the Albert Schweitzer-Gasse police station noticed the suspicious behavior of a man standing with two e-scooters in the half-open entrance door of a multi-party building, nervously looking around.

Man in Vienna-Rudolfsheim fled with e-scooter

When he noticed the police officers, he suddenly threw one of the e-scooters to the ground and rode off in the opposite direction with the other. The officers pursued him and were able to stop the fugitive on the nearby Sechshauser Straße. During the search of his backpack and clothing, burglary tools (including bolt cutters, battery-powered cutting devices, and a crowbar) as well as several small bags of drugs (presumably crystal meth and marijuana) were found and secured.

Arrest warrant against 35-year-old

During the operation, it also emerged that there was an active arrest warrant against the 35-year-old Austrian citizen on suspicion of burglary theft. The man was therefore immediately arrested and transferred to the Eisenstadt correctional facility. Subsequently, the officers checked the address from which the man had fled shortly before. In the stairwell, they encountered a 46-year-old Serbian national who stated that he had just purchased drugs from the suspect. He also claimed that the suspect had offered to sell him one of his two e-scooters. The bags of drugs found on the man (presumably also crystal meth and marijuana) were secured. The 35-year-old and the 46-year-old were reported under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs Act. The Vienna State Criminal Police Office, West Branch, has taken over the investigations.
