According to a "Kurier" report, the inmate is believed to be the leader of the "Rammbock" gang, which was tried and convicted in 2024 for jewelry burglaries in the Shopping City Süd (SCS) in Vösendorf (Mödling district), in the Vienna Donauzentrum, and in Wiener Neustadt. A manhunt was underway, confirmed police spokesman Stefan Loidl upon request.

Information about the whereabouts of the 29-year-old, which will also be treated confidentially, is requested to be reported to the Lower Austria State Criminal Police Office, phone number 059133-30-3333.

Inmate Escaped: Manhunt Initially Unsuccessful

The authorities were notified shortly before 8:00 AM. A manhunt for the Dutchman, involving 13 patrols and dogs, was initially unsuccessful, reported Loidl. "The circumstances of how the inmate was able to escape are still being investigated," said the spokesman.

The criminal group, which is believed to have committed burglaries and an ATM explosion in Markgrafneusiedl (Gänserndorf district) in 2023, is likely to be active internationally. Last October, three Dutch nationals received non-final prison sentences ranging from 20 months to nine years. A Bulgarian, who allegedly acted mainly as an accomplice, was non-finally sentenced to 30 months, 20 of which were suspended.
