Robbery in Casino Bregenz: Masked perpetrator on the run!
On the night of April 4, 2025, an attack occurred on the Casino Bregenz. A masked perpetrator entered the casino shortly before 2:00 a.m. and threatened the employees with a blank gun. The robber was able to steal an unknown amount of cash and probably fled in a car.
The Vorarlberg police immediately launched a search for the fleeing robber and his vehicle. This search also extends to neighboring countries, but has so far been unsuccessful. The police are asking for tips from witnesses who can provide information about the perpetrator or the getaway vehicle. The accused is described as being around 1.85 meters tall, was wearing black clothing and had his face covered.
A second attack in a short time
This is not the first time that Casino Bregenz has been the target of a robbery. The casino was hit by an armed robber at the beginning of March. In this case, a 25-year-old Swiss man who was suspected of being involved in the attack was caught near the crime scene. The incidents raise questions about the security situation in the region.
In addition, employees at the hotel near the casino reported seeing people walking away from the casino premises after the robbery. However, it is unclear whether this is related to the current incident. There were no visible signs of the robbery at the casino itself.
Security situation and crime statistics
The recent raids shed light on the challenges of security monitoring at gambling venues. A look at the reports of Federal Criminal Police Office shows that crime statistics are regularly produced, including reports on topics such as money laundering and illegal gambling. These reports could provide relevant data on the security issues in casinos.
The ongoing investigations and the search for the perpetrator in Bregenz are part of a larger effort to curb crime in the region. Until the police catch the perpetrator, the public is asked to be vigilant and to report anything suspicious.
