Three suspects aged 16, 17, and 18, of Turkish and Austrian nationality, were arrested by the Vienna police in no time. The blank-firing gun and the knife were seized by the police.

The Vienna State Criminal Police Office has since conducted further investigations. Through the evaluation of geo-data from a rental e-scooter, as well as the recognition of the 18-year-old Turkish suspect after a photo lineup, investigators were able to link him to another armed robbery on 07.10.2024 at 00:40, in which he demanded money from a 16-year-old victim at knife point. The man, who has been in custody since then, was interrogated in the correctional facility and confessed to this charge as well.
