Five criminals from Slovenia have been looking for vineyards and taverns in southern Styria since the summer. Now the Cobra has finally caught the criminals. The damage done by them amounts to about 150,000 euros.
A Slovenian gang of burglars has terrified countless people in Southeast Styria. The four men and a woman had been up to mischief since the summer. They were particularly after thriving wine taverns and wineries, suggesting correspondingly wealthy owners. They were especially fond of cash and jewelry.
Safe ripped out of the wall
Even safes were broken into by the gang in the hope of looting: “I was on vacation in Lisbon. When I came back, I noticed that the terrace door had been broken,” says a victim in an interview with “Steirerkrone”. The man immediately knew that his house had been broken into. “I went to the bedroom and saw that the safe and its contents were gone! Nothing else has disappeared and the perpetrators have not attacked anything else.”
Is a perpetrator involved in a murder?
Whatever worries him: Among the group of perpetrators – so it is rumored – is also a man who is associated with a murder abroad. “It’s not exactly conducive to well-being, as you can imagine. You don’t want to leave your wife and children alone anymore.” The South Styrian has now upgraded the house in terms of security, replaced locks and installed an alarm system.
Gang of five arrested by Cobra
As far as the alleged perpetrators are concerned, there is at least a sigh of relief: after the evidence of a future crime scene was confirmed, the cobra task force beat and arrested five people who were about to break into an object of their desire . Those with prior convictions deny the crime. They are all held in Graz-Jakomini Prison.
In close cooperation with the Slovenian authorities, the criminal investigation department of the State of Styria and the Graz public prosecutor’s office are now trying to find out the exact circumstances and identify other possible victims. So far it is known that the gang would have made a loot worth no less than 150,000 euros.
