On Friday afternoon, four men in Vienna-Landstraße attempted to retrieve a gold ring and a wristwatch from a shop that they had pawned. Since these items had already been sold, they instead stole cash in a low five-figure amount and fled.

The operator of the shop on Erdbergstraße in Vienna-Landstraße alerted the Vienna police due to the robbery.

Arrest After Robbery Over Pawn Dispute

Officers from the Landstraße City Police Command stopped the getaway car on the Southern Motorway (A2) near Vösendorf. The four occupants were provisionally arrested, and a baton and the stolen cash were secured. It was only then revealed that the four men from Syria and Austria, aged 22 to 36, already knew the victim. No one was injured during the robbery. Further investigations are being conducted by the Vienna State Criminal Police Office, Center-East branch.
