After the attack on a post office in the center of Vienna, new details came out on Friday. As reported Thursday morning, a man entered the store, pretended to have a gun, and stole money. It is now also clear what drove the suspect to this act.
24 minutes must pass between the attack and the arrest of the suspect. The suspect, a 42-year-old Austrian, did not have a firearm, but had counterfeited one with his finger or hand and demanded cash from the two employees around 9:10 a.m., as is now known. The man fled with loot.
A house search was launched and an area around the crime scene was cordoned off, police spokesman Philipp Haßlinger reported on Friday. Officers from the Viennese Standby Unit noticed a motorist during the search – they stopped him and should notice a close resemblance to the robber they were looking for. Officers also found the loot in the vehicle. The suspect has been arrested.
The 42-year-old admitted to the robbery during interrogation, his motive for the crime: debt. He is taken to a prison.
