Bracen robberies: Czech passage in Lower Austria

In the recent case of robberies, three men have been imprisoned, including a 20-year-old main, who is confessed. The young man is suspected of having committed several coups in the region of Lower Austrian and Viennese cities. The police announced on Friday that the main suspect was a Czech citizen who described accomplices aged 32 and 38 from his home country.

chase and raids seem to wear the handwriting of this group of perpetrators. One of the most remarkable incidents is an attack on a jewelry shop in Haugsdorf, which occurred on September 18, 2023 shortly after 5:30 p.m. Here the masked robber entered the business, threatened the owner with a silver shotgun and captured cash and jewelry.

further raids and arrests

In the same evening, around 7 p.m., the 20-year-old attacked a money exchange in Vienna-Brigittenau. There, however, he was surprised by the alarm of the employees and had to flee without prey. But the criminal trip of the 20-year-old led him to Germany a short time later, where he was arrested in a robbery in Freiberg. The shotgun used by it was ensured during this arrest.

his stay there was temporary. While he was arrested in Germany, he was already sentenced to a prison sentence for several years. Until his delivery to Austria, he now stays in the Regis-Breitingen correctional facility. His accomplices, which are suspected of having provided the escape vehicle and provided support in the raids, were also caught and transferred to Austria. However, they denied the statement during their interrogation.

The investigation was full of surprises. Apparently all three men can be assigned to the drug milieu. The police emphasized that they have previous convictions in their criminal record and the captured funds may have been used to finance their drug addiction. There are even ongoing investigations against the suspects in Germany, the Czech Republic and Poland due to various property and predatory offenses.

The security authorities keep an eye on developments to prevent further crimes in connection with this group of perpetrators and to ensure public security. The case not only throws a light on the current crime rates, but also shows the challenges that arise from cross -border crime.
