Because she was “so good”, a man gave sweets to a girl in front of her mother in the parking lot of a supermarket in Traismauer in the district of St. Pölten (Lower Austria). The description of the unknown corresponds to that of the suspect who had grabbed a small child by the hand in Mistelbach.
40 to 50 years old, about six feet tall, traveling in a gray and white van: When describing the man who allegedly handed out sweets to children in a supermarket parking lot in Traismauer on Saturday, the researchers alarm bells are ringing. The man who grabbed a child by the hand in Mistelbach at the end of January and tried to persuade them to go was described in a similar way. “It could very likely be the same suspect,” police said.
As reward
It is so far known that the stranger had approached a girl in front of her mother in the parking lot of a supermarket. Because the child was such a good shopper, he deserved a treat, he said. After she gave him a friendly wave, the man handed her something else.
According to the management, it could be a so-called “baiting act”, in which the trust of the children will be secretive. It becomes problematic when the offspring is later seen by the suspect without parents.
Write to all kindergartens
The mother, on the other hand, was so surprised that she did not immediately intervene, but then immediately went to the police. All kindergartens in the region have now been informed about the incident at least once via the district. “In case of similar incidents, immediately call the emergency number of the police or go to the nearest police station,” it says.
