Shock for a tobacconist in Neumarkt (Murau district). A 13-year-old boy suddenly pulls out a kitchen knife that was hidden under his sweater and asks for a pack of cigarettes. The employee had previously denied him tobacco, probably because of his age.
Not of legal age
The young robber flees the store, but a short time later he is captured by the police in front of a residential center for young people and children, where the knife comes from. The young man is not a blank slate, other crimes are also on his own. Because young people in Austria are only of criminal age from 14 years, the Leoben prosecution cannot prosecute him.
“We refer these cases to the agency responsible for youth welfare – in this case BH Murtal -“, says Johannes Riedler on AUSTRIA, spokesman for StA Leoben. There you can take educational measures.
