The suspect of a robbery after three years: New investigation results

After three years of intensive investigations, the State Criminal Police Office in Vorarlberg (LKA) experienced a significant turn in a case of Raub. On November 12, 2024, the authority announced that a suspect who was connected with a severe robbery from 2021 could be identified and arrested. This identification took place thanks to a hit in the track database, which was updated in October 2024.

The attack occurred on June 17, 2021 in Götzis, a municipality in the Feldkirch district. A masked perpetrator threatened the employee of a betting restaurant with a telescopic stroke and demanded cash. The traces that were secured at the time, which were left at the scene, initially remained without concrete references to the perpetrator. However, the suspect could now be assigned due to the newly obtained information from the track database.

identity and arrest of the suspect

The suspect, a 25-year-old Turkish citizen from the Feldkirch district, is currently without a fixed job. On November 4, 2024, he was arrested by LKA forces at home. During the arrest there was a detection treatment that led to the positive agreement with the previous investigations. His behavior in the circle of acquaintances, where he expressed threats, had previously attracted the attention of the investigators.

After the arrest, the suspect was admitted to the Feldkirch judge at the Feldkirch public prosecutor's office, where custody was ordered. The authorities now check whether it could also be involved in other robberies. Since it was arrested, the LKA has had extensive investigations to determine possible connections between the suspect to further crimes in the Feldkirch area.

The determination shows how important the track database is in order to make progress in unsolved criminal cases even after years. The identification of the suspect could possibly uncover a number of related crimes and represent another security aspect for the public.
