Burglary in Völkermarkt: High damage by unknown people!

In the night of December 11, 2024, unknown perpetrators committed a violent slump into a residential building in the Völkermarkt district. As MeinDzirk.at , the burglars came to the apartment and stolen jewelry between 5 and 8 p.m. Values with a total value of several thousand euros.

The police have already started investigations to find the perpetrators. This incident is in contrast to a current analysis of the security situation in Vienna, which was published by diepresse.com . The report examines the crime rates in various districts of Vienna and notes that violent crimes often create a distorted image of security. While the murder of a 27-year-old in the Brigittenau district caused excitement, the statistics show that the actual offenses per 10,000 inhabitants are higher in many other districts.

The data prove that burglaries are often carried out in wealthy districts, where the perpetrators can count on a higher value on stolen objects. The security situation in Völkermarkt, where jewelry was recently stolen, could be considered in a larger context where economic factors influence crime. Vienna, despite the isolated shock events such as murders and serious violent crimes, remains a place with differentiated security sites that differ greatly depending on the district.
