Tire Slashed, Then Robbed: Vienna Police Seek Suspect

The sought-after man, along with two as yet unknown accomplices, is said to have slashed a tire of the victim's car. Then, two suspects drew attention to the damaged tire on Erdbergstraße in Vienna-Landstraße, engaged the victim in conversation, and also offered help. Meanwhile, one of the perpetrators managed to steal a five-figure sum of cash. Two of the suspects then fled in a white compact car.

The police are asking the public for information – even anonymously – particularly regarding observations before, during, or after the crime, as well as the identity of the pictured man. Please contact the Vienna State Criminal Police Office, Center-East branch, at the phone number 01-31310-62660.
