30 coups in Austria

The police are looking for this serial burglar

A 58-year-old man is being sought after a total of 30 burglaries in Salzburg, Upper Austria and Lower Austria with around 138,000 euros in damage.

The series of burglaries in companies, club properties and public buildings began on June 4, 2024 in Wagrain (St. Johann im Pongau district). Other crime scenes were located in the city of Salzburg as well as in Kuchl (district of Hallein), Seekirchen, Köstendorf and Straßwalchen (each in the district of Salzburg-Umgebung), in Upper Austria in Attnang-Puchheim and Seewalchen (each in the district of Vöcklabruck) and in Weng (district of Braunau). 

In Lower Austria, the wanted man is said to have broken into boxes and safes in a clubhouse and the municipal office in Langenrohr (district of Tulln) on the night of June 22 last year and taken cash. After breaking into the kindergarten, he left the scene without any loot, the police reported.

By train to the crime scenes
The 58-year-old is said to have mainly traveled to the crime scenes by train. The amount of property damage was estimated at around 112,000 euros. An arrest warrant has been issued for the Austrian citizen by the St. Pölten public prosecutor's office. 

Information on the suspect's whereabouts can be sent to the Tulln police station (Tel.: [phone]) and will be treated confidentially on request, according to the police.

Suspect possibly armed!
As the man could have a handgun, it was appealed not to stop him but to call the police immediately on 133.
