Armed Robbery in Vienna: Police Searching for Two Men After Attack on 16-Year-Old on Schubertring

The perpetrators then forced the 16-year-old to go to a nearby ATM, withdraw 200 euros, and hand over the cash to them. Afterward, the two men fled. During their escape, they allegedly masked themselves with FFP2 masks. The youth remained uninjured according to the current state of the investigation but suffered a shock.

Description of the Two Suspects

The two suspects are described as approximately 175 to 180 centimeters tall and slim. At the time of the crime, they were wearing blue pants and a black jacket. One of the two had a red beard, the other was beardless. Both spoke German with an accent. After the crime, they put on FFP2 masks to cover their faces.

During the course of the investigation, photos of the suspects from a surveillance camera were secured. The Vienna State Criminal Police Office, Group Schalek, has released the images and is asking the public for tips. Relevant information will be accepted at the phone number 01 31310 33800; tips can also be submitted anonymously.

Police do not rule out that the two men could be responsible for further crimes in Vienna's inner city. Investigators are checking whether there have been similar incidents in the city area. The release of the surveillance images is intended to help obtain further tips from the public.

Schubertring is one of the busiest sections of Vienna's Ringstrasse and connects Opernring with Parkring. In the early evening, there is heavy pedestrian traffic there from workers, tourists, and passersby. The incident has attracted attention in Vienna's inner city because the alleged perpetrators specifically forced a minor into an ATM transaction.
