Major manhunt following break-in at gun shop
At 4:40 a.m., four as-yet-unknown burglars broke into a gun shop in Freistadt and stole numerous firearms. Since then, law enforcement in the Mühlviertel region has been conducting a large-scale manhunt, and the Cobra unit is also on the scene.

Four individuals were caught on camera around 4:40 a.m. as they broke into the Freistadt gun shop. The quartet fled with the stolen firearms, though a large portion of them was later discovered near the crime scene.
The police are taking this heist extremely seriously because firearms are involved. That is why they are doing everything possible to apprehend the suspects as quickly as possible.
Getaway Car Switched in Bad Leonfelden
In the course of the morning, it emerged that residents had heard screeching tires and slamming doors behind the church in Bad Leonfelden at 5 a.m. on Monday. At 7 a.m., police officers arrived there, questioned the neighbors, and searched the garages. This is because the suspects had left their getaway vehicle—a black Porsche with German license plates and a flat tire—at the movie theater parking lot. The sports car was thoroughly examined by the forensic team.
Porsche Stolen at 3 a.m.
According to police, the Porsche had been stolen at 3 a.m. It is still unclear how many weapons the perpetrators actually made off with. An inventory check is now underway to determine this.
A break-in of this kind at a gun shop has not occurred in Upper Austria for quite some time. In June 2026, there was a series of break-ins at such stores in Tyrol and Vorarlberg. In those incidents, the perpetrators deliberately rammed their cars into the storefronts to gain access to firearms. According to the Upper Austrian State Criminal Police Office, there may be a connection to the Dutch ATM bombers known as the “Mocro-Mafia.”
