Hundreds of taxis destroyed! A duo is in custody and remains silent about all accusations. No further incidents have occurred since then. But the drivers are still shaking about further taxi break-ins…
Why did an Iraqi (28) and his 18-year-old accomplice from Upper Austria destroy so many taxis? Are there other perpetrators? And more victims? Researchers do not yet have answers to these questions. There are two suspects in Puch-Urstein prison, but both still do not comment on any serious charges.
The fact is: in recent weeks there have been numerous burglaries of parked taxis in the Salzburg city area. The criminals did not act prudishly. They broke the windows of the cars. The loot was always small, but the material damage was even greater. “Hardly a colleague has been spared,” groans tax official Franz Manussiger (Name changed by the editors). Together with almost 80 colleagues, he went on a criminal hunt on Monday evening, the ‘Krone’ reported. The Iraqi and his accomplice were caught red-handed and police eventually arrested the duo.
Taxi drivers expect more burglaries
There have been no more taxi burglaries since then. A deceptive calm? Manussiger: “There is definitely a gang at work. There are still several perpetrators.” The police cannot rule out or confirm this at this time. “The investigation is still ongoing and there is currently no new information,” police said.
