Overview
- In Hesse’s Main-Kinzig district, three masked offenders forced a rear door at a petrol station, broke a safe from its anchoring, opened it, and took several thousand euros before escaping, possibly by vehicle.
- Police mounted an overnight search with multiple patrol cars and a helicopter and reported no arrests as criminal investigators secured forensic traces at the scene.
- In Ferlach, Carinthia, burglars pried open a terrace door, ripped out an anchored safe, and likely took jewellery and documents, with damage estimated in the low five figures.
- An attempted apartment break-in in Wörgl was aborted when a resident’s dog barked, with police noting the building’s entrance was likely left unlocked and only minor door damage reported.
- Authorities are treating the incidents as separate cases while highlighting a seasonal rise in break-ins during darker autumn evenings and requesting public tips.
