The 27-year-old Chechen had just left a bar in Linz with his mobile phone when three young people came towards him and snatched the mobile phone from him. In the course of the argument, the trio first hit the 27-year-old to the ground, then they kicked his body and head. Police officers were able to locate the iPhone 14 brand phone in the morning hours and arrest the suspects.
It was just after 2 a.m. when the native Chechen took the mobile phone that someone had obviously left lying around at the table and left the bar.
When he got to Hofgasse, he was met by a 16-year-old and two 17-year-olds. After the Chechen had the mobile phone in his hand, the three noticed it, snatched it from him and beat him up before fleeing in the direction of Taubenmarkt. The 27-year-old followed her before being stopped and questioned by a police patrol. “Witnesses saw how three boys pushed a man to the ground and then brutally hit him,” said police spokeswoman Barbara Riedl yesterday.
While the Chechen – who suffered bruises all over his body and had a tooth knocked out – was taken to the emergency hospital, the police immediately issued a wanted list for the fugitives. This was initially negative.
Only when the owner of the bar where the 27-year-old had taken the cell phone reported it as stolen did things start to move again: a cell phone location led the officers to the home address of one of the two 17-year-old suspects in the Kirchdorf district . There, at around 5:30 a.m., they arrested both the resident and his 16-year-old accomplice, both of whom had partially confessed. They were taken to the prison and are being reported for robbery, drug use and under the Weapons Act because weapons (butterfly knives, baseball bats, blank guns and a machete) were also seized from them. The third suspect was finally found at his home in Waldneukirchen, where the stolen mobile phone was also secured. The interrogations are still ongoing. The 27-year-old is reported for theft.
