Burglary in Vienna Tailoring Shop: Two 13-Year-Olds Caught

After three individuals smashed the glass entrance door of a tailor shop in Vienna-Döbling with an emergency hammer and entered the store, a witness notified the police. Officers from the Döbling City Police Command were able to arrest one of the suspected perpetrators in the store and another during an immediate search. They are two 13-year-old boys known to the authorities (nationalities: Syria and Serbia). They were taken to a crisis center. The third suspect is still at large. The Vienna State Criminal Police Office, West Branch, is conducting further investigations.
