A professional burglar with accomplices is said to have caused damage worth 500,000 euros by stealing bicycles in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Instead of the Krampus, the Cobra knocked on the door of the thief in Linz on Tuesday. He can now celebrate Advent behind bars in a particularly contemplative way.
On November 24, the LKA Upper Austria received a report from Switzerland about a German in hiding. The cantonal police of Zurich were able to establish a connection with Upper Austria during their investigation, which is why the detectives of the LKA Upper Austria were asked to take measures. The 27-year-old is said to be a member of a criminal organization and other members are said to have specialized in the theft of high-quality bicycles and e-bikes stolen in burglaries in Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
His organization stole bicycles worth 5,000,000 euros from October 2019 to November 22, 2022 and also caused considerable material damage due to the burglaries.
Advent behind bars
The man was arrested in an apartment in Linz by Cobra members with the support of the Upper Austria standby unit. Several e-bikes, mountain bikes and burglary tools were secured in the apartment. After consultation with the public prosecutor’s office, he was transferred to the prison in Linz.
