Pushed to the ATM

Teenagers held a knife to a 17-year-old

In the district of Bregenz, a 17-year-old was the victim of a robbery: he was threatened with a knife by two strangers. However, the perpetrators were caught shortly afterwards. 

At around 9.30 p.m. on Wednesday, a 17-year-old teenager was walking in the Feldkirch district when he was stopped by two strangers. The two wanted money from the boy. After he claimed not to have any, one of the strangers pulled out a knife and demanded that the victim go to an ATM, withdraw money there and then hand it over.

Robbed cash in the three-digit range
The 17-year-old complied with this more than unfriendly request and gave the perpetrators the three-digit amount of cash he had withdrawn. The strangers then fled. The police were quickly alerted by the victim, which is why a manhunt was quickly launched.

Quick success in the manhunt
Thanks to the good description of the perpetrators, the manhunt was successful: the two perpetrators - a 17-year-old and an 18-year-old - were arrested just half an hour after the alarm was raised. The main offender (17) was questioned that same night and taken to Feldkirch prison.
