Slovenian in custody
Several senior citizens robbed on buses and streetcars in Graz
Success for the police: a Slovenian man has been found guilty of five pickpocketing incidents on buses and streetcars in Graz. Two Georgians were caught in Gleisdorf, who are believed to be responsible for a total of 21 criminal offenses.
Detectives from the Graz City Police Department carried out patrols on Carnival Saturday. In the past, thefts had repeatedly occurred on public transport in Graz. The victims were mainly elderly and infirm people. During their activities, the officers observed a Slovenian man making two attempts to steal something from the handbags of elderly ladies.
The handcuffs finally clicked for the 52-year-old at Jakominiplatz. Between January and March 2025, he is said to have completed five bag thefts. He then allegedly withdrew money using the stolen ATM cards. Three of the pickpocketing attempts were not completed.
Two Georgians were already arrested in Gleisdorf in November. Following a manhunt, the duo were taken into custody immediately after a crime. The 26-year-old and the 53-year-old are said to have been responsible for a total of 21 criminal offenses between July 2024 and November 2024. The two offenders also made negative appearances in Salzburg, Carinthia, Upper Austria and Lower Austria. They are now also in Jakomini correctional institution.
