Suspects on the run

Home invasion in Vienna: 84-year-old woman tied up

There was a home invasion in Vienna-Floridsdorf on Thursday evening. An 84-year-old woman was tied up in her apartment by unknown men and brutally robbed.

One of the men knocked on her front door and started a conversation. He wanted to know if there was a vacant apartment in the house. Suddenly, a second man, who was presumably in the stairwell, covered the woman's mouth and forced her back into her apartment.

Tied up by the arms and legs
The suspects tied up the pensioner by her arms and legs, stuffed a cloth in her mouth and dragged her into the bathroom, according to the police. The two suspects then locked the victim in there.

Investigation underway
Shortly afterwards, the suspects grabbed all the cash and fled. The victim immediately alerted the police. The 84-year-old woman was taken to hospital with abrasions to her face. The investigation is in full swing. So far there is no trace of the suspects.

According to the police, there is no exact description yet. The 84-year-old woman has not yet been questioned. She suffered a shock.
