Money and cards stolen

Pensioner with rollator was robbed at the station

A particularly disgraceful theft was committed on Sunday in the area of Innsbruck's main railway station. The victim was a disabled man (72) who had stowed his bag on his walker. The thief shamelessly took advantage of this opportunity.  

According to the police, the perpetrator reached into the bag lying on the rollator and stole a purse from it. It contained just over 100 euros, a bank card and a railroad card. The thief then fled.

Police arrested suspect
However, the perpetrator did not get far. In the course of the investigation, the police arrested a 37-year-old Austrian as a suspect shortly afterwards. Further investigations are underway.
