Son attacks his own mother: robbery with knife in Simmering!

A frightening incident has occurred in Vienna-Simmering that is causing fear and terror among the neighbors. A 19-year-old is accused of threatening his mother with a knife in her apartment and robbing her. The mother contacted the police shortly after midnight on June 6th and reported the robbery, in which the son stole three cell phones and cash and then fled, according to the report Courier reports.

The dramatic incident occurred in the early hours of the morning and put security forces on alert. The mother, shocked by the events, gathered all her courage and informed the authorities. The son, who no longer lives with her, turned himself in at a police station a short time later. He was temporarily arrested.

Consequences for the suspect

During a search of his vehicle, the police found the stolen items and a blank gun. Due to these circumstances, a ban on entry and approach as well as a provisional weapons ban were issued against the suspect. The 19-year-old is now in police custody while the Vienna State Criminal Police Office takes over the investigation. As is often the case, the presumption of innocence applies here until a final conviction has been made.

Crime under surveillance

Such incidents shed light on the general security situation in Austria. Police crime statistics (PKS) show developments in criminal activity and are important for preventive and repressive crime fighting. Since 2001, all reported cases have been recorded electronically to provide a clear picture of crime. Federal Criminal Police Office Responsible security reports are prepared by the Federal Ministry of the Interior and the Federal Ministry of Justice.
