The raid on Brunner Strasse

Mayor Michael Ludwig from SPÖ put together this task force after locals complained about noise, pollution and broken vehicles. The officers were tasked with setting up a grid and checking everybody who looked suspicious around Brunner Strasse in the Liesing area. According to reports, there were professionals on site who checked the state of the vehicles, any levies that were remaining, and their general compliance with regulations. There was also a police officer who checked the speed of the ongoing traffic, as well as a police doctor.

Several “sex buses” toed from the location

These sex buses are basically vans that had their interior changed to represent a room where sex workers can take their customers. Most of these buses only have the basic necessities, such as a cheap mattress for the act, heating via propane gas bottles and maybe a table or a desk. The windows of the vans were covered with cloths and blankets for privacy. According to the police report, these sex buses were in very bad condition. Five sex buses were towed away and five additional ones got their license plates removed because they were not safe for prostitution purposes.
