14-year-old overturns children in Döbling-the police quickly summarizes him!

in Vienna-Döbling occurred late Thursday evening, around 10:15 p.m., a robbery that caused excitement. Two boys between the ages of 12 and 13 were threatened by a 14-year-old youth on the open road. The perpetrator called for cash and valuables, whereupon the two boys were handed over a mobile phone, wireless headphones and 50 euros in cash. After the attack, the 14-year-old fled, but the police did not get asked for long and immediately started a search. This was initially unsuccessful, but the stolen mobile phone could be located later. As a result, the officials succeeded in arresting the alleged perpetrator in the area of ​​the Heiligenstadt station.

The police officers ensured almost the entire stolen goods, apart from ten euros. After the arrest, the 14-year-old was reported to be released and handed over to the legal guardians, which raises the question of how the duty of supervision is in this case. The two boys were then able to look forward to returning their property, which at least came after the fright. In a further incident in the region, a brutal robbery was recently reported in which a six -member gang of girls was involved, which clarifies the gap between youth crime and security on the streets of Vienna.

Overview of youth crime in Vienna

publicly discussed incidents such as this raised fundamental questions about how surely young people can move in the city. Recently there have been reports of attacks that have a worrying effect due to a general increase in youth crime in Vienna. Even in the most peaceful corners of the city, raids and predatory crimes occur terrifyingly often, which is thoughtful. [Meinverzirk] reports on how such attacks come about in many cases and that the judiciary is required to intervene more. The topic remains on the agenda and lets the discussion about prevention measures come to the fore.

The police encourage the population to draw attention to suspicious situations and act immediately in an emergency. With appropriate safety precautions, the risk of raids for children and adolescents could be minimized. The situation makes it clear that it is urgently necessary to rethink and adapt the security concepts in Vienna to protect both children and their parents. Thanks to the fast reaction of the police in this case, worse things could be prevented, but in order to reduce such scenarios, the joint commitment of citizens, schools and authorities is required.
