22 vehicles damaged – car scratches: traces of the devastation in the noble district

On Tuesday afternoon, an attentive eyewitness with civil courage observed from the balcony how a man in the noble district of Döbling in a dark parka with a hood and mouth and nose protection scratched the hoods and doors of several parked cars with a key. His car probably should have been next. When the tenant shouted from the balcony, the suspect fled on the street below.

In the course of an immediate search by the police, a 35-year-old Syrian was caught not far from the crime scene due to the good witness description. Thanks to the witness, mobile phone photos and video recordings of the willful damage to property were secured. According to initial findings, the man scratched at least 22 vehicles in Obersteinergasse, Kuhngasse and Ohmanngasse. In an initial interrogation, the suspect denied the allegations and refused to provide further information.Vandalism out of frustration and boredom?It is also being determined whether the Syrian could be connected to possible similar damage to property in the recent past. According to this, at least 40 scratched vehicles in the district are to be attributed to him. The motive of the alleged serial vandal is likely to be frustration and boredom. Because if you don’t have comprehensive insurance, you have to pay for the damage to the paintwork yourself. The asylum seeker is unlikely to pay for the damage.
