A heist straight out of a movie took place early Thursday morning in Linz: At least three unknown suspects rammed a car into the glass front of a Linz jewelry store, which was secured by a rolling grille. The heist took them barely a minute; they snatched the most valuable items and escaped undetected.

It was a textbook-perfect lightning-fast heist: At 3:52 a.m. on Thursday morning, a white car backed into the entrance of a jewelry store on Wiener Straße in Linz, which was secured by a rolling grille. Due to the force of the impact, the glass front behind it was smashed in.

Two masked men stormed into the sales area and smashed several display cases with their hammers. They stuffed the stolen jewelry into shopping bags, then jumped into the car they had stolen earlier—in which an accomplice was apparently still waiting—and fled.

Police arrived quickly on the scene
“It all happened incredibly fast; I received the alarm notification on my cell phone at the same time as the police did. We drove here immediately,” says Eda T., who has been running the jewelry store for a year.

When she arrived, three patrol cars from the Lenaupark Police Precinct were already on the scene. “The officers got here extremely quickly, but unfortunately they didn’t catch the perpetrators,” laments the 41-year-old owner.

“I’ve been running the store for a year, and nothing like this has ever happened before. Now, of course, I’m still in a bit of shock.”

Insider Information
Although the break-in was captured on a security camera, the footage doesn’t reveal anything about the masked perpetrators. “They must have had inside knowledge; they headed straight for the gold display cases on the left and ignored the cases with the fashion watches,” says Eda T. The extent of the damage is still unclear.
