Robbery in Vienna: a gang of children robs two young people
In the late hours of Saturday night, two young people were victims of an attack in Vienna-Leopoldstadt. A group of five children, aged twelve to thirteen, attacked the two teenagers and robbed them of their valuables. The incident occurred in a busy area where the darkness and late hour made it easier for the perpetrators to remain undetected. It is disturbing that such young attackers are capable of committing such acts and the use of knives in the attack adds to the severity of the situation.
The police were informed immediately and initiated an investigation. It is unclear whether the perpetrators are already known or whether the police have received information about their identities. The children's legal guardians and the young people affected are in contact with the investigating authorities in order to clarify the case. The incident highlights a worrying trend in juvenile crime in the region, which makes it urgent to address the problem.
The investigators hope that by evaluating surveillance cameras and eyewitness reports, further information can be collected in order to quickly bring the perpetrators to justice. More details about this incident can be found in a detailed report on www.krone.at.
