Young people in Vienna-Döbling: Fake cell phone theft ends in prison!

Wien-Döbling, Österreich - A strange incident in the Döbling district of Vienna caused a sensation when a 15-year-old on Whit Monday, June 9, 2025, around 8:45 p.m., triggered an emergency call for an alleged cell phone theft. Apparently the young person had asked a passer -by to inform the police because his mobile phone had been stolen. But as it turned out, the theft was probably just a dizziness.

The whole thing took place in the area of ​​the Wertheimstein park. When the passerby chose the emergency call, he was ridiculed by a group of young people. As soon as the police officers were bent by the on-call duty around the corner, the 15-year-old turned out to be uncooperative and aggressively. He not only refused to provide his identity, but also tried to prevent the officials from doing their work and hit his hand away from a police officer.

the arrest

The Situation escalated quickly, which ultimately led to the arrest of the young person. During a search, the police found a mobile phone, which indicated that the alleged theft had never taken place. Even in the subsequent interrogation, the 15-year-old behaved uncooperatively and refused to say about the events. The Vienna public prosecutor's office reacted immediately and ordered the young man to be transferred to a prison.

The incidents that developed in an apparently harmless situation raise questions about the behavior of young people today. "How can it be that young people drive such nonsense?" Asks a resident of the area while another adds: "There is really something when young people no longer know what consequences their actions have."

public reactions

The sympathy in the neighborhood is great. Some citizens are concerned about the incidents and general security in the area. "It is already difficult if something like this happens on your own doorstep," said a passer -by. At the same time, some are optimistic that this is an isolated case that should not cloud the good neighborhood.

The police point out that such incidents not only burden the civil servants but also the citizens, as resources are bound to pursue non-existent crimes. "Every police operation counts. We ask the citizens to call the police in the event of actual emergencies and not to act out of joke," said a press spokesman for the Hohen police inspection.
