After investigations

Police officers were able to uncover a fictitious robbery

A 20-year-old from Friesach sensed big money and therefore staged a robbery. But the provincial criminal investigation department and the police in Friesach managed to track down the young Carinthian.

The 20-year-old turned up at the Friesach police station on Monday and presented the officers with a spectacular story: on Monday, he was threatened with a handgun by several men in a private workshop in Micheldorf and forced to stand in a corner. In the meantime, the men had loaded the tools and a lifting platform before speeding off. "A radio search was initiated immediately, but was unsuccessful," according to the Carinthia Provincial Police Directorate.

Robbery only invented to get money
However, the State Criminal Police Office and the officers in Friesach did not quite believe the 20-year-old's story and carried out a more extensive investigation. It turned out that the 20-year-old had only invented the robbery in order to sell the stolen goods himself and make money.

Once the investigation is complete, the Friesach man will be reported to the public prosecutor's office in Klagenfurt.
