Major operation for the Graz police Monday morning: Criminals stormed into an auction house in a car and stole valuable jewelry there. They then chased the police through half the city.
It is probably the most spectacular criminal case in Styria so far this year: On Monday evening, unknown people crashed a car into an auction house on Jakominiplatz in Graz. The criminals apparently reversed their car into a display and cleared it away. Shortly before 3:30 a.m., the alarm triggered a large-scale operation by the Graz police.
The perpetrators had already completed their ‘work’ and fled. They apparently wanted to leave the city via Dietrichsteinplatz and Münzgrabenstrasse, pursued by several police patrols. At the Fröhlichgasse intersection near the trade fair, an attempt was made to stop the criminals with a roadblock. But they bypassed the barrier.
Arrest by Rapid Intervention Group
Shortly afterwards, an emergency vehicle from the SRK-SIG (Rapid Intervention Group) was able to stop the getaway vehicle and arrest two suspects. Since then, the investigation has been in full swing. For tactical reasons, the police currently do not want to provide details about the two arrested people or the loot.
