An officer from the Vienna State Criminal Police Office, who is part of the task force for combating street crime (EGS), noticed a strong resemblance yesterday afternoon, while off duty, to a suspect wanted under a European arrest warrant, who was near a rapid transit station.

Suspect Wanted Under Arrest Warrant Also Allegedly Committed Pickpocketing

The man is suspected of having committed multiple commercial thefts and thefts as part of a criminal organization in the past. The officer immediately alerted his on-duty colleagues. Upon their arrival, it was unequivocally determined that it was the wanted 37-year-old Romanian citizen. The suspect was provisionally arrested by the officers. Further investigations revealed that the 37-year-old allegedly committed a pickpocketing shortly before. A total of 24 offenses could be attributed to him.
