On Friday evening, two unknown men broke into the apartment of a 69-year-old man and a 79-year-old woman in Vienna-Hietzing and robbed them. The perpetrators used a Halloween phrase at the intercom to gain access to the building.

The masked perpetrators threatened the residents of an apartment with firearms, tied them up, and searched the apartment for valuables. They escaped with cash, jewelry, and mobile phones. The damage amounts to a low five-figure sum in euros. The 79-year-old woman later freed herself and alerted the police through a neighbor. The initiated manhunt was unsuccessful.

Robbery of Couple in Vienna Apartment Likely a Targeted Act

According to the victims' statements so far, one of the perpetrators was about 1.80 to 1.85 meters tall, very slim, and wore a full black mask, presumably consisting of a scarf and a cap. He had light blue eyes, wore black clothing - jeans, down jacket with hood, shoes, and gloves - and spoke German with a Slavic accent. The second perpetrator was about 1.75 to 1.80 meters tall, also very slim, and also fully dressed in black. He also wore a full mask made of a cap and scarf and spoke German with a Slavic accent.
