On Monday afternoon, a store detective of a retail business caught three men on a stealing spree on Vienna's Mariahilfer Street.

Around 2 PM, the store detective observed two men placing various goods into a backpack in a store branch and passing the checkout area without paying. Outside the store, another man was waiting, who then stashed the stolen goods in his backpack.

The store detective notified the Vienna police and pursued the three men. He observed once again how two of the men entered a grocery store and another theft occurred using the same method.

Upon leaving a third store, the three men were stopped by the police. "In a modified backpack, the officers found various meat and sausage products as well as sweets," stated the Vienna police on Tuesday via a press release. The arrested men are a 32-year-old Austrian and a 27-year-old and a 44-year-old Romanian.
