During the search, the police found that a strongly demolished cash register was found behind the 14-year-old. The young person was then temporarily arrested. The second officer persecuted the fleeing 13-year-old, who ultimately hid under a car in Lichtentalergasse. This young person was also discovered and brought to the police inspection before he was handed over to his career.

The 14-year-old refused to say during the survey and was reported to the Vienna public prosecutor's office at the order. These incidents throw a light on a worrying development: According to the police crime statistics, the number of suspect children and adolescents in Germany in 2024 rose by 11.3 % to a total of 13,755, while the number of suspects increase by 3.8 % to 31,383. The increasing violent crime in children and adolescents is often associated with mental stress and social factors, such as BKA.de reported.

social contexts

Ramona Becker, a spokeswoman for the police, emphasizes that such incidents are increasing in public places and in residential areas. The current figures show that not only simple thefts, but also violent crime increases among young people. This trend is particularly alarming because society has to deal with the causes and consequences of youth crime.

The combination of increasing numbers of criminal acts among young people and the changed social and psychological framework is a challenge. The police are required to take preventive measures and to clarify the public about these developments in order to prevent future acts and to strengthen the feeling of security in the community.
