Employee in Vienna Hotel Stole Watches and Jewelry Worth 40,000 Euros

Investigators, after several unexplained thefts, set a trap together with hotel staff and the security department of the establishment, reported police spokesman Markus Dittrich in response to an APA inquiry on Sunday. The 39-year-old was arrested this week and has already been taken to a detention center.

During a search of the suspect's apartment, officers secured extensive stolen goods, including cash amounting to around 12,500 euros in different currencies, explained the police spokesman. Additionally, a Rolex watch worth 18,000 euros and 94 pieces of jewelry - including, according to Dittrich, "numerous high-quality rings" - were confiscated.

So far, five offenses have been proven against the woman. Investigators from the Inner City Criminal Department assume that there could be additional unreported cases. The 39-year-old partially confessed during her interrogation. The Cambodian citizen stated that she needed money for dental treatment as her motive.
