After a visit to the cinema, a 46-year-old woman and her companion wanted to ride home on e-scooters. They had previously secured them with a bicycle lock to a stand at Gablenzgasse. Upon their return, however, the scooters were gone.

With the help of her mobile phone, the woman was able to locate the two e-scooters nearby and called the police. The alerted officers began the search for the stolen property and discovered one of the scooters leaning against a park bench in the area of Fuchsgasse. Three people were sitting nearby.
