Houses searched

“Everything trashed”: burglars caused chaos

Criminals left a huge mess in their search for valuables. The residents couldn't even tell what had been stolen at first.

A series of burglaries is currently keeping the police in the district of Krems busy. In Hadersdorf, unknown persons broke open a patio door with a sharp object and then massively ransacked the rooms. "The residents initially had no idea what had been stolen," says an investigator, describing the chaos at the scene of the crime.

An amount of cash has definitely disappeared. The criminals failed at another house in the village, but caused massive damage to property when they tried to get in.

Still unoccupied
In nearby Rohrendorf, burglars were successful twice. They went to the back of the houses and smashed a window. Even lowered blinds did not stop them.

All the rooms in these houses were also searched. A four-figure sum of cash was stolen from the first, while the perpetrators were probably less fortunate in the second: The new owners had not yet moved in.
