Vorchdorf, 16 June 2026

In the night leading into Tuesday, unknown perpetrators in Vorchdorf in Upper Austria used a stolen minibus to break through the display window of a jeweler and subsequently managed to flee on foot without entering the store.

As police reported, the perpetrators drove the stolen minibus deliberately into the jeweler's shop window display in the night leading into Tuesday. The officers' account is available verbatim: „In der Nacht auf Dienstag fuhren unbekannte Täter mit einem gestohlenen Kleinbus in die Auslage eines Juweliers." The impact caused considerable property damage to the facade and the entrance area of the store.

After the impact, the perpetrators attempted to remove the security grille in front of the store with a rope, according to police. „Versuchten sie, das Absperrgitter mit einem Seil zu entfernen", the investigators' report states. This attempt failed.
