A 41-year-old serial thief was arrested after employees at a toy store recognized her. It is believed that she broke into several stores in Upper Austria. During an investigation, police found 222 stolen items in her basement.
It was thanks to the attentive employees of a toy store in the Schärding district that the whole thing was discovered, as has now become known. On June 11, goods were stolen from the store in question by an initially unknown woman. A camera recorded the theft.
Recognizable when visiting
A week later, the same woman visited the store again. The employees recognized her and called the police. The officers checked the 41-year-old from the Grieskirchen district and found more stolen goods in her car parked in front of the store, which the woman had allegedly stolen from another toy store the same day.
Originally packaged stolen goods in the basement
During a voluntary inspection of her basement, police discovered numerous other stolen items, including stationery, clothing and books. The total of 222 items were in their original packaging, many with a price tag.
According to police, the 41-year-old confessed to stealing the stolen goods from shops in the districts of Ried, Eferding, Wels and Schärding over a period of about a year. She was reported to the public prosecutor.
