The youngest is just 12 years old, the oldest 17. They were caught because they were seen by a witness trying to open parked cars in a settlement, police reported on Thursday.
The witness stated that several people drove into the settlement in two cars and approached several vehicles. After alerting the police, he blocked the exit from the settlement with his pickup truck. The perpetrators fled on foot and separated. With the help of a service dog, officers later found three boys in a parked car. One of them had the key to one of the two stolen vehicles they had to leave behind in the settlement. Nearby, the police officers then also grabbed the other two youths, who in the meantime had stolen an ATM card from a car and used it to buy cigarettes.
The suspects are a 12-year-old, two 15-year-olds and a 16-year-old from Salzburg and a 17-year-old Albanian. The twelve-year-old was handed over to his parents, the others are still being questioned. The two cars seized were stolen in St. Gilgen on Wednesday night.
