In the night leading to Saturday, a robbery occurred in an apartment in Vienna-Meidling, during which a 22-year-old man was injured. "As the apartment was heavily ransacked and there were bloodstains everywhere, the police dog unit was called in with a tracking dog for evidence collection and a drug detection dog," said the Vienna police via a release on Tuesday. A total of 2.5 kilograms of cocaine and heroin were found.

The robbery occurred on Saturday around 3:45 AM. Neighbors alerted the Vienna police when they heard a woman's cries for help. When the officers arrived, they found a 22-year-old with multiple injuries.

Nighttime Robbery in Meidling Apartment: 22-Year-Old Injured

The man stated that he was an acquaintance of the tenant and often stayed in the apartment. That night, he had already been asleep when four unknown men started banging on the windows. Out of fear, he locked himself in the bathroom. Shortly after, he heard the apartment door being opened. When the men tried to open the bathroom door, the 22-year-old tried with all his might to hold it shut. The men tampered with the door lock and attempted to lift the door off its hinges. When they managed to open the door slightly, one of the men allegedly stuck a knife through the gap, injuring the 22-year-old. Due to the heavy bleeding, he let go, allowing the four men to enter the bathroom.

The perpetrators demanded money, leading to a scuffle during which the 22-year-old fell against the glass wall of the shower. It shattered, causing the young man further injuries. The intruders took the victim's money and left the apartment.

The victim stated that during the incident, he also heard his acquaintance in the apartment. However, she reportedly left the apartment with the four unknown men.

2.5 Kilograms of Cocaine and Heroin Found in Vienna Apartment

Analysis of the bloodstains showed that they all belonged to the 22-year-old, and no other persons were injured. The drug detection dog found drugs in a cloth bag in a wooden cabinet and sewn into stuffed animals. It was a total of approximately 1 kilogram of cocaine and 1.5 kilograms of heroin.

The 22-year-old was treated in a hospital. As the Vienna police suspect that the Serbian citizen is connected to the discovered drugs, he was arrested.

The next morning, the 31-year-old tenant was also found in the apartment. The Austrian citizen was also arrested.
