Youth gang in Vienna-Simmering: Police clarify five raids

In Vienna-Simmering, the police picked up a gang of six children and adolescents who are responsible for at least five raids. These incidents occurred in the second half of July until the beginning of August. The perpetrators have targeted and robbed peers. Such a criminal group, which specializes primarily in raids in the middle of the city, arouses concerns about security in public space.

The police have now successfully identified and arrested the perpetrators. This arrest is an important step to show that such crimes are not tolerated. Since the raids took place in a short time, the indications of an organized approach by the young people were condensed. Their deeds were described as particularly brutal and terrifying brutality.

The raids in detail

The police determined due to the connections of all raids and was able to find a connection between the actions. In the first week of July there was an attack in which the youthful perpetrators urged their victims with the threat of violence to surrender money and valuables. The various raids mostly took place near schools and popular meetings of the young people. With this strategy, the young criminals tried to minimize the risk of discovery.

The implementation of the attacks shows that the perpetrators were well informed about their surroundings. The procedure indicates that you may already have experience with these crimes. The police emphasize how important it is to include the public in the discussion about security and prevention of young crime.

The arrest of the young people was seen as a success by the police, not only as a sign of more security, but also as a way to address the dangers of such crime. The question that arises is how such attacks can be better prevented in the future in order to protect peers from similar experiences. Unfortunately, such incidents are not only an issue in Vienna-Simmering, but also affect many urban areas. Additional information on crime prevention in schools could play a crucial role here.

For a deeper insight into the background of the arrests and to understand possible consequences for the young people concerned, further information is required. The topic will surely have to be treated in upcoming discussions about youth crime. The city of Vienna has the concern to ensure the security of its citizens and to fight such incidents. Particular attention is now being paid to the prevention measures so that young people do not slide into crime.
