In the early hours of Wednesday morning, a witness alerted the police after observing a burglary on Quellenstraße.

Shortly after the alert from the witness, officers encountered one of the suspects, a 31-year-old man, in front of the store, while the other, a 25-year-old, was temporarily detained inside the sales area, masked, with a crowbar and a bag full of stolen goods.

Charges Against Burglars After Attempted Burglary in Vienna-Favoriten

Both men had gas pistols, which were secured by the officers. During the search of the 25-year-old, a small amount of a suspected narcotic, presumably cocaine, was found and confiscated. The men were charged with attempted burglary and, on the orders of the Vienna public prosecutor's office, were taken to a correctional facility. An additional charge was filed against the 25-year-old under the Narcotic Drugs Act. The 31-year-old, who was subject to an existing weapons ban, was charged under the Weapons Act.
