Two robberies in Vienna: Police on the trail of perpetrators

in Vienna there were two robberies on Friday that attracted the attention of the police. The first incident occurred in the afternoon in Meidling, where a 22-year-old was brutally attacked. The perpetrators who had a gun with themselves demanded his smartphone and put him with blows and kicks. While the young man defended himself, the attackers fled with their prey, and the police have so far been unable to find any trace of them.

In the evening there was another attack in Margareten. There, two young people were pressed by a trio that was targeting an expensive jacket. The 18-year-old, one of those affected, was threatened with blows if he refused to give up his Moncler jacket. His accompaniment immediately alerted the police, who was quickly on hand.

An attentive passerby played a crucial role in the arrest of one of the perpetrators. When the police arrived and saw one of the fleeing young people, the passerby offered his bike so that an official could catch up with the suspect faster. At first the adolescent, after whom he had lost the jacket, started and set off and off, but was arrested in the area of Brandmayergasse.

The arrested is a 17-year-old Syrian. However, due to the instruction of the Vienna public prosecutor's office, it is initially indicated at large. Interestingly, it later turned out that the Moncler jacket that was about was fake. The other two accomplices have not yet been identified, their description dressed as black and provided with a hood, witnesses that can contribute to clarifying the case could be noted. The police therefore call on witnesses to report if they saw the refugees before, during or after the crime. Information can be addressed anonymously to the Vienna State Criminal Police Office.

This incident underlines the rapid reaction and cooperation between the police with the public to combat crimes. As the entire events show, it remains crucial that citizens and authorities work together to ensure security in the city. Further information on these raids is on www.kleine newspaper.at Appointment.
