Vienna Police Arrest Trio

In the course of an immediate search, three individuals were stopped near the crime scene on a moped. According to the police, they are two men aged 18 and 22, and a 22-year-old woman. The two older individuals are Austrian citizens, while the 18-year-old is stateless.

The trio claimed that an altercation occurred because the 27-year-old had made advances towards the woman, which her companions presumably did not appreciate. They did not want to say how and why they came into possession of the bag. The bag contained some cash and the 27-year-old's identification documents. By order of the public prosecutor's office, the 18-year-old stateless person and the two Austrians were charged with robbery and released.
