The men, aged 21 and 25, had stolen four new bikes on the night of February 22, loaded them into a van, and fled towards Romania via Hungary. The Lower Austria State Criminal Police Office quickly tracked down the getaway vehicle, and around 10 a.m., it was discovered by the Hungarian police at the border with Romania.

The driver evaded an attempt to stop by the authorities by accelerating and speeding away at the next highway exit. The van overturned on Romanian territory, and the suspects fled. The four bikes were secured. The burglary at the motorcycle dealer resulted in damages amounting to approximately 50,000 euros.

The analysis of traces led to two Romanians, against whom European arrest warrants were subsequently issued. The 21-year-old was arrested in Italy on September 1, and his 25-year-old accomplice was handcuffed in his home country on September 14. After their extradition to Austria, the two were taken to the Wiener Neustadt prison. They refused to testify.
