According to police information from Tuesday, the trio primarily targeted high-priced perfumes. The total damage amounts to more than 33,600 euros. Two women aged 27 and 33 are said to have committed the thefts, while a 31-year-old drove the getaway car. Two of the three suspects have already been extradited to Austria.

The trio was attributed with four shoplifting incidents each in Vienna-Donaustadt and the district of Mödling (Wiener Neudorf, Biedermannsdorf, and two in Guntramsdorf) as well as a coup in Götzens (district of Innsbruck-Land) from June 2024 to March this year. After a forensic treatment in Axams in Tyrol, the nationality of the suspects could be determined based on a report from the Lower Austria State Criminal Office, the police announced in a release. The accused, who were wanted under European arrest warrants, were arrested on April 9. The 33-year-old was extradited to Austria at the end of April and the 31-year-old last Thursday. Both refused to testify and were taken to the Wiener Neustadt correctional facility.
