Raser on A23: Police shoots on fleeing suspects!

The Viennese police are currently urgently looking for a 26-year-old Romanian without residence in Austria. The person sought is involved in an incident that occurred in Vienna in early March when he apparently disregarded several traffic rules during a spectacular chase on the A23 motorway. Unnoticed with a Mercedes with expired German transitions, the man drove to the south with speeds over 100 km/h.

On Monday evening, around 6:15 p.m., the police received numerous calls from a vehicle that was ruthless on the A23. The investigators immediately moved out to control the section of the highway. The driver repeatedly ignored the police stops and started fleeing. In a traffic jam, he even chose the emergency alleys as a escape route, which made the measures of the police even more difficult.

daring escape and shots of the police

At Sankt Marx, the driver was forced to brake due to a traffic jam. Here police cars stood across to stop him. Despite these measures, the driver raced directly to police officers, with one of them being slightly injured. In this critical situation, the officials gave 16 shots on the vehicle, but the driver was able to escape and put his car a little later in Modencenterstrasse in the 3rd district.

After leaving the vehicle, the fugitive hid in a nearby office complex. Despite a large -scale search of the building, the security forces were unsuccessful. A surveillance camera took up the perpetrator during his escape and the police asks for information that can be forwarded to the Vienna State Criminal Police Office on 01-31310-62800.

crisis intervention by statistical data

These incidents reflect a worrying development in crime statistics that the Federal Criminal Police Office covers in its police crime statistics (PKS). The PKS is used for the strategic planning of police measures and is based on the data from the Austrian Criminal Code and relevant secondary laws. Since 2001 all displayed cases have been registered electronically in order to obtain a comprehensive image of criminal activities in Austria.

Statistics not only helps with the investigation work, but also enables preventive and repressive fight against crimes. Annual security reports created by the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI) and the Federal Ministry of Justice (BMJ) provide extensive information about crime developments and can be relevant for the analysis of the current incident. Nevertheless, the PKS does not capture the dark field of crime or the results of legal proceedings, which could also apply to the current events.

The case of the driver sought not only raises questions about safety in road traffic, but also for the effective fight against crime in Austria.
