Because the reporting point at their bank was constantly busy, two brazen pickpockets were able to quietly withdraw 1,500 euros with their victim’s stolen card. Senior Rosa S. probably won’t see any of her money anymore.
Powerlessness and anger have accompanied Rosa S. (name changed) for a week. “I can’t hear these safe city ads anymore,” she says. It was shortly after 6 p.m. when the Viennese woman got off the subway at Kagraner Platz. “I thought I would walk the distance and avoid the bus,” she says.
The cheerful elderly person (84) was on her way home when two men suddenly took her handbag. Everything happened very quickly.
In addition to money, identity cards and keys are also missing
“I guess they’ve been following me since the subway,” the 84-year-old said. The shocked woman alerted police, who immediately arrived and helped the elderly woman. In addition to cash, ID cards, a notebook, all cards such as e-cards etc. and the apartment key were in her handbag.
The Vienna police are looking for the perpetrators
“A police officer wanted to help me block the account, but he stayed on the line for 45 minutes. “In the meantime, the criminals have been able to withdraw 500 euros three times,” says the victim angrily. She didn’t see the faces of the dark-haired men. Now she hopes the surveillance camera footage is meaningful. She had left a second key to the apartment with her brother, so she wasn’t locked out. In order not to become an easy victim again, Mrs. Rosa S. now wears a fanny pack.
