Teenagers threaten cab driver with gun and knife
Viennese police officers have succeeded in tracking down five young suspects - some of whom are minors. The boys, aged between twelve and 15, are suspected of having committed three robberies against cab drivers last December.
Intensive and meticulous investigative work preceded the identification of the young boys, who come from Austria, Syria and Afghanistan. The suspects are said to have used a pistol, a knife and an ice cream stick in the incidents.
Arrest of the 15-year-old
The Vienna public prosecutor's office issued an arrest warrant for the 15-year-old Afghan national. After his interrogation, he was taken to a prison.
