23-year-old shoplifter arrested in Vienna-escape attempt fails

In an incident that occurred on Tuesday in Favoritenstraße in the Vienna-Wieden district, a 23-year-old man was stopped and arrested by the police. The suspect was targeted by the police officers due to the suspicion of shoplifting. During the subsequent control, the officials not only discovered the stolen goods, but also additional objects that aroused the suspicion.

When the suspect was searched, the officers came across several bank cards, which were probably also stolen. They also found clothes that were provided with theft fuses. These items have been ensured and the man is said to have already made some NFC payments with the stolen bank cards. NFC, which stands for Near Field Communication, is a technology that enables contactless payments and only requires the proximity of a corresponding device.
