After a 19-year-old woman's handbag was stolen the previous day in Vienna City, she was able to locate her wireless headphones, which had been in the handbag, the following day.

The signal from the stolen headphones led to a shelter for homeless people in Vienna-Landstraße, after which the woman contacted the police emergency number. Officers from the Fiakerplatz police station went to the scene and located the signal in a room of the facility.

Stolen Goods Found After Locating Stolen Headphones

Following an order from the Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office, the room of a 32-year-old man was searched. The man was uncooperative and increasingly aggressive. During the search, he attempted to injure a police officer with his elbow. He was then arrested. The police found a large amount of suspected stolen goods in his room, including wireless headphones, a tablet, a designer handbag, and other valuables. However, the originally stolen handbag, wallet, and headphones of the 19-year-old could not be found.

According to investigations, the suspect might have thrown the items out of the window shortly before the police arrived. Indeed, the headphones were later located in Vienna-Favoriten, but a search was unsuccessful. Some personal items were returned to the 19-year-old, and the other suspected stolen goods were secured. The suspect refused to make a statement during the interrogation. On the order of the Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office, he was transferred to a correctional facility.
