Juvenile robbery on Lake Wörthersee: 16-year-old arrested!
A 15-year-old student from the Klagenfurt district was the victim of a cruel robbery on Thursday, December 12, 2024, at around 4:45 p.m. at the train station in Velden am Wörthersee. As the website meine.at reports, his cell phone was violently snatched from him by an unknown teenager. Witnesses said that another youth acted as an outsider during the attack and was a cover agent. After the attack, the two perpetrators initially fled in an unknown direction.
Arrest of the perpetrator
But the victim wasn't so easily brushed off: Together with a witness, they followed the perpetrators and found them nearby a short time later. Despite being asked to return the stolen cell phone, the young people did not respond. The injured parties then immediately called the police. They were able to locate the main perpetrator, a 16-year-old from Villach, in the track area and arrest him after a short escape, as meinbezirk.at reports.
The arrested young person was taken to the Velden police station and questioned about the crime in the presence of his legal guardians and a lawyer. After consultation with the public prosecutor's office, it was decided to commit him to the Klagenfurt prison. This incident sheds light on the challenges of juvenile crime and shows that legal action will be taken promptly to prosecute such acts.
