Played “Car Bingo” – criminal youth gang convicted in Feldkirch

They called it “car bingo” and apparently thought it was pretty cool to steal money, credit cards and other valuables from unlocked cars. Therefore, the four accused brats had to be between 16 and 18 years old and a 20-year-old accomplice will appear before the regional court on Friday. Feldkirch is responsible.

This concerns two series of thefts in Montfortstadt that the predominantly work-shy five committed at the end of 2022 and this year from May to July. The suspects were involved in different constellations. They agreed to enter “car bingo” via mobile phone and eventually visited several residential areas in Feldkirch at night to find loot from unlocked vehicles. Cash and credit cards were the most lucrative stolen goods to finance alcohol and cigarettes.

During the trial, the five suspects gave the impression that they were completely unaware of the case. Therefore, their lawyers placed even greater emphasis on their clients’ full confession. Moreover, their legal representatives attribute the actions to rashness and youthful recklessness: “They were not aware of the consequences,” says lawyer Anna-Katharina Wirth, for example, about her two Pappenheimers.

The first defendant goes back to prison
Judge Sabrina Tagwercher examines the criminal group: “They are all still very young. It cannot be that you want to follow the life path of the first defendant and end up in prison!” Because the person in question has apparently learned nothing from her four previous convictions and several months in prison. The 18-year-old is sent back to the building for five months because of the serial thefts. The other four defendants get away with fines between 480 and 1,620 euros because of their previous integrity. The rulings are already legally binding.
