The incident in Rotenturmstrasse is not isolated. This street has already been the scene of similar raids, such as Kleine Zeitung reported. Since the beginning of the year there have been several raids by youth gangs in the area, which makes the security situation appear worrying.

The increase in suspects under the age of 18: 14,804 young people were reported last year, which corresponds to an increase of 33%, as reported.
at a time when society increasingly deals with the problem of youth crime, an interdisciplinary working group was also set up in 2024 in order to take preventive measures. These developments illustrate the seriousness of the situation and the need for urgent solutions.
The existing security cameras in Rotenturmstraße and at Schwedenplatz are evaluated to identify the perpetrators of the raid. The police encourage the public to report information on the incident.
