Robbery in Casino Bregenz: Masked perpetrator on the run!

Bregenz, Österreich - In 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 shotgun. The robber was able to capture cash at the previously unknown height and probably fled with a car.

The Vorarlberg police immediately initiated a search for the fleeting robber and his vehicle. This search also extends to the adjacent countries, but has so far been unsuccessful. The police ask for information from witnesses who can provide information about the perpetrator or the escape vehicle. The accused is described as about 1.85 meters tall, wore black clothes and had grumbled his face.

a second raid in a short time

This is not the first time that the Casino Bregenz is the goal of a robbery. At the beginning of March, the casino was hit by an armed robber. In this case, a 25-year-old Swiss who is suspected of being involved in the attack could be caught near the crime scene. The incidents raise questions about the security situation in the region.

In addition, employees of the hotel near the casino reported of observations of people who had moved away from the casino site after the attack. However, it is unclear whether this is related to the current incident. There were no visible traces of the raid on the casino itself.

security situation and crime statistics

The latest raids throw a light on the challenges in the security monitoring of gaming sites. A look at the reports of the Federal Criminal Police Office shows that statistics are regularly created on crime, including reports on topics such as money laundering and illegal gambling. These reports could offer relevant data on the security problems in casinos.

The ongoing investigations and the search for the perpetrator in Bregenz are part of a larger EFFORF to curb crime in the region. Until the police hold the perpetrator, the population remains asked to be vigilant and report to suspicious observations.
