Linz Donaulände

Teenagers became robbers over five euros

They are only just under the age of criminal responsibility - and already robbers. Two teenagers committed a crime in Linz near the Urfahrmarkt area over five euros. They attacked two slightly older boys and beat them up. The robbery was quickly solved.

A 16-year-old and an 18-year-old, both from St. Valentin (Lower Austria), came to the police at around 6.55 p.m. on Saturday and said that they had just been attacked and robbed by two unknown offenders on the Donaulände. Together with two patrols, the victims went to the scene after reporting the crime. There they immediately recognized the two attackers among a group of youths.

Suspects in custody
As a result, a 14-year-old and a 15-year-old, both from Linz, were taken to the police station to clarify the facts of the case. It eventually emerged that the two victims had been injured by the two attackers and that a five-euro bill had been stolen from them. While the two Lower Austrians were treated by the ambulance after being questioned, the two attackers were taken to the Linz police detention center.
