As it turned out, the 55-year-old is also suspected of breaking into nine other businesses - from restaurants, to plumbing companies, to beauty salons. According to Gutt, he stated that he committed the burglaries because he had a residence ban in Austria, which meant he was not allowed to work and had to provide for himself in this way. He was charged with multiple counts of attempted and completed burglary and was transferred to a correctional facility.
