Two boys from Graz (14 and 15 years old) are already known to have wanted to rob a flower shop in the Eggenberg district on Friday morning – with a deceptively real-looking toy gun. They fled empty-handed and were arrested a short time later.
Book thefts, robberies: the 14-year-old resident of Belarus and the 15-year-old Turk are already known to the police. On Friday they wanted to strike again and attack a flower shop in Graz-Eggenberg.
Shortly after 09:30, the youths entered the store after pulling their hoods over their faces. With a gun – which later turned out not to be real – they threatened the employee, who was alone in the store. But despite repeated requests from the robbers, she did not hand over any cash. A behavior that the police explicitly do not advise.
Boys are now in custody
The youngsters had to leave empty-handed. The employee was able to provide a decisive clue to the escape route; the boys were located in an apartment near the crime scene by officers from the Graz-Eggenberg police station and special units from the Cobra task force. The murder weapon and clothing were also confiscated.
The young people made full confessions during the interrogation. They are being held in the prison of Graz-Jakomini. The National Criminal Investigation Department is continuing the investigation.
