Professional Pickpockets Arrested

As part of a district-wide focus operation, officers from the city police command Favoriten and Meidling managed to arrest the two pickpockets on Friday.

Professional Pickpockets Allegedly Struck in U1

The men are said to have struck at least ten times since the beginning of June, mainly on the U1 subway line in the area of the Inner City. They targeted handbags and wallets. There was an active arrest warrant for the men from the Vienna public prosecutor's office. Due to video recordings from one of their theft tours, the police were also familiar with their appearance. The 52-year-old confessed during his interrogation and heavily incriminated his accomplice. The 69-year-old then refused to make any statement to the police. The two men were taken to a correctional facility.
