Serial Thief Caused Trouble in Vienna Senior Home: Manhunt

The incidents began at the end of September last year, and the series only ended on April 10, reported police spokesman Philipp Haßlinger on Sunday. The man took advantage of the fact that relatively mobile elderly people live in the facility, so the apartments are often empty during the day, making it easy for the thief.

The unknown individual stole valuables, cash, and mobile phones from residential units "where no persons were present at the time of the crime." He repeatedly withdrew money with stolen bank cards, which is why the now-released images from surveillance cameras originate. "In at least nine known cases, the unknown perpetrator caused damage in the mid four-figure range," said the spokesman.

Witnesses who noticed the suspect before, during, or after his escape are asked to contact the police, it was stated. Information (also anonymously) is requested to be provided to the Trillergasse police station at the phone number 01-31310-64317.
