Young robbers in Vienna: cell phones rejected, police snaps duo

In the night of Friday in Vienna-Margareten, two young robbers shocked the residents when they carried out an attack on two young men. The 14-year-old perpetrators were masked and equipped with dangerous objects. Despite the threat and demand for cash, their victims, a 19-year-old and a 20-year-old, offered them their mobile phones instead, which the robbers rejected. This decision led to the fact that the crime came to a quick end.

The raid occurred in Stöbergasse around 1.15 a.m. Armed with an electric shocker and a knife, the two Afghan citizens threatened the young men and searched their bags for valuables. When they found nothing, they fled from the crime scene, but the victims reacted immediately. They immediately informed the police and gave important information about the robbers.

Quick arrest by the police

The quick reactions of the victims contributed to the fact that officials from the service dog unit were quickly on hand. Near the scene of the crime, the police officers were able to arrest the duo and, in addition to a storm hood, also secured the stun gun, which was used in the robbery. Although the young people admitted the raid, they claimed not to have used a knife. The public prosecutor, however, decided to transfer it to a prison and not to leave them open.

The arrest and the associated securing of the evidence show how important it is to act quickly and inform the authorities. These incidents raise questions about security in the city, especially when young people are involved in such dangerous situations. The background and legal consequences of such raids become an important role in the further processing of the case.

Details about this incident are still sparse, but reports www.kleinezeitung.at that the two young people were brought to a prison. The police hope to be able to act better by further investigations from similar incidents in the future.
