A cleaning staff discovered a sleeping man in the entrance area of an office building in Vienna-Simmering on Thursday morning. The police later found additional suspicious items – including a stolen bicycle and narcotics.

An unusual police operation took place on August 21 in an office building in Vienna-Simmering. A cleaning staff discovered an unknown man sleeping on a sofa in the entrance area and notified the police. Upon the officers' arrival, the man was no longer present – however, a broken locker was discovered.

Police found drugs and stolen bicycle with 33-year-old: Report

During further investigations, an employee pointed the police to a stranger in a storage room. It turned out to be the same 33-year-old Austrian citizen who had previously been sleeping in the entrance area.

During the suspect's inspection, the police found several keys to the office building, a presumably stolen bicycle, and a small amount of narcotics. The man claimed to have "found" the key. He was temporarily arrested and reported at large.
