Victim is a volleyball player – boy (14) steals car and crashes into police car

“My client overslept. “But now he is in a taxi on the way to court,” sighs lawyer Maximilian Lohsmann, waiting in front of room 11. It is noon and the defendant he represents is only 14 years old. Around 12:45 p.m., the teenager from Favoriten shuffles down the aisle, apparently not under any stress. “Why are you so late? “We are all waiting here,” asks judge Daniela Forcedleidner, who had already handled five juvenile criminal cases at the time. “I’m sorry, I fell asleep again.” – “There is no school today?” “Yes, but because I had to come here, I didn’t go to school.” to skip the first few hours.” The defendant bows his head.

Chase favorites
He is scheduled to appear in court on April 6 on a misdemeanor charge. That day, a men’s volleyball tournament was taking place at a school in the Tenth District. The boy sneaked into the cloakroom, emptied the athletes’ jacket pockets and took their wallets. And a car key. The matching brand new Toyota hybrid was quickly found. The teen decided to sell the car and drove away. A chase with the police ensued. Until a short one. The young car thief then crashed the red vehicle into a patrol car. “What did you think?” asks Mrs. Rat. “I don’t know. “I haven’t even thought about it,” was the answer from the 14-year-old, who was cared for by child and youth care.

Memory of Mrs. Rat
“Fortunately, nothing more happened and there were no injuries,” Lohsmann said. His client accepts the six-month prison sentence for, among other things, theft, unlawful use of vehicles and endangering physical safety. At the end of the hearing, Mrs. Rat points to the window: “Think about whether you really want to be in custody there in the future.”
