Information Requested After Gas Station Robbery in Vienna-Favoriten

After the employee handed over an unknown amount of cash, both perpetrators fled out of the city via Triester Straße. An immediate police search has so far been unsuccessful.

According to the police, both men were masked and dressed in dark clothing. The authorities are requesting information from the public. Anonymous tips are also possible. Witnesses are asked to contact the police at the phone number 01/31310 extension 33800.

Several Robberies in a Short Time

Just on the night of Saturday, a gas station on Linzer Straße in Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus was the target of a robbery. Again, it was two dark-clothed and masked men with a firearm, one of whom secured the escape route while his accomplice carried out the actual robbery. A similar gas station robbery occurred on the night of July 25 in Favoriten. There too, it was two dark-clothed masked men who came with a firearm.

There were two more robberies on the nights of July 19 and 23 in Favoriten and Simmering, respectively. However, in each case, it was a single perpetrator, albeit with a similar description: dressed in dark or black clothing, masked, and armed with a firearm.
