26-Year-Old Arrested After Basement Break-Ins in Vienna-Favoriten

The tenant of a multi-party house in Vienna-Favoriten surprised an unknown person early yesterday morning as he was leaving a broken-into basement compartment with an e-scooter. The caught perpetrator then left the e-scooter and fled on foot with a shopping cart loaded with stolen goods.

Man in Vienna-Favoriten was stopped shortly after

Shortly after, he was stopped by alerted officers from the Taubstummengasse police station and the Vienna rapid response unit near the crime scene. The 26-year-old (citizenship: unclear) resisted his provisional arrest fiercely and repeatedly made threats against the officers. During the search of the man and his backpack, the suspected burglary tools, including a bolt cutter and a side cutter, as well as a knife, were found and secured.

The stolen goods, which came from a total of three broken-into basement compartments, were subsequently assigned to the owners and returned. The suspect was reported at large by order of the Vienna public prosecutor's office on suspicion of multiple attempted burglaries and attempted resistance against state authority.
