Two Arrests After Robbery Attempts in Vienna-Rudolfsheim

Around 9:00 AM, according to Haßlinger, the suspects tried their luck at a bank on Hütteldorfer Straße. Two, a woman and a man, stayed in front of the bank, and it is not even clear if they were supposed to "keep watch." The other two entered the bank with a very fake-looking toy gun. They didn't even approach the cashier. One said to the other: "You, I think she won't give us any money." With that, they left the bank, only to shortly thereafter approach the tobacconist next door, again with a toy gun in hand.

Two Men Arrested in Vienna

One of the men asked the tobacconist: "Do you have money for me?" - She answered with a brief "No." Thus, this robbery attempt also came to an end. Two suspects were shortly thereafter caught at a tram stop, while their two accomplices initially escaped. The 40 and 43-year-old Austrian citizens were initially not fit for questioning. Both had more than two per mille of alcohol in their blood. Further investigations by the Vienna State Criminal Police Office are underway.
