Burglaries in Vienna: Police warn of perpetrators' new approach

Several apartment break-ins occurred on Vienna's Wassergasse on Sunday afternoon. During the investigation, the police gained remarkable insights that indicate an unusual approach by the perpetrators.

Investigators suspect that the burglars used acid to damage the lock cylinders of the apartment entrances. This is a method that is particularly insidious as it causes serious damage to the locks and makes it easier for perpetrators to break into homes. The responsible police hazardous materials team secured the affected locks and handed them over to the Federal Criminal Police Office for further analysis. A comprehensive examination of the materials is being carried out here, which could potentially provide clues to the identity of the perpetrators.

Police appeal

As the investigation progresses intensively, the police are appealing to citizens to remain vigilant. We urge you to report any suspicious activity immediately. Authorities emphasize the importance of not ignoring unusual events in order to prevent further crimes. Anyone who sees anything strange in their environment should immediately contact the police emergency number 133.

These incidents highlight the need for security measures in residential areas. The police are still looking for further information that could lead to the burglaries being solved. Meanwhile, it is crucial that the public remains active and supports the police to ensure safety in affected areas.
