Burglary in the municipal office: perpetrators leave chaos in Hafnerbach!

The municipal office of Hafnerbach in the St. Pölten district has made a frightening burglar a target. As Leopold Schweiger from the St. Pölten-Land district police command reports, the unknown perpetrators initially tried to penetrate the back of the building. When this attempt failed, they opened the front door. Shortly before 7 a.m., a municipal service provider noticed the crime that the community put on alert. Fortunately, there was only a small amount of cash in the safes, but the property damage caused is considerable.

Mayor Stefan Gratzl described that the criminals were unabashedly waving through the municipal office and ruthlessly opened numerous doors and boxes. "Two safes were broken up. The handkinds stored in it were taken away," he said in a conversation with the Krone . He made it clear that the amount of money was only in the middle three -digit euro range, while the property damage was "really massive". The police have now initiated investigations and wonders whether it may be the same group of perpetrators who committed a similar crime in the neighboring town of Neidling a few weeks ago.

Due to the break -in, the municipal office was closed on Tuesday, and a message was hung on the building that informed the citizens about the situation. Mayor Gratzl assures that the municipal services will immediately see through inventory lists to see everything exactly to determine whether other objects were stolen. "The next day, however, should be normal operation again," added Gratzl. Despite the shock, he assures that the break -in should no longer impair the work while the investigation is continued.

How the NÖN is suspected that it is currently an organized gang that is currently undercut in the region. The close time connection between the burglaries in Hafnerbach and Neidling gives the police additional indications that a criminal pattern can be seen here.
