During a routine traffic check on the B25 in Ybbs an der Donau (Melk district), two thieves were caught.

According to the police, the two 27-year-old thieves from Linz had emptied a basement compartment in a multi-party house in Walding in the Upper Austrian district of Urfahr-Umgebung a few hours before the traffic check. They stole goods with a total value of about 8,000 euros and fully confessed to the crime.

The break-in into the basement compartment was committed on Monday between 2:00 and 4:00 a.m. The duo was finally stopped at 12:20 p.m. In the car were two e-bikes, an e-scooter, and tools. The 27-year-old Czech citizen who was driving the car does not have a valid driver's license. She must therefore answer to the district authority. In addition, the woman and her accomplice will be reported to the Linz public prosecutor's office after the investigations are completed.
