But the project of the two suspects, at the age of 37 and 40, failed. They left the building without captured money. Thanks to the fast response from the police, which arrived at the crime scene shortly after the alarm, the alcoholic duo near the bank could be arrested, as vienna.at .

Although this incident does not even represent the end of a criminal chapter, the failed attack will remind of previous spectacular bank raids. Especially in 1993, a raid in a shop for children's fashion in Döbling became a sensational case in which the perpetrator was able to entrench himself with hostages and finally lost his life in the hail of bullets, as derStandard.at . Today's attempt has once again raised the question of which security measures are necessary to prevent such crime.
