The Dutchman is "still on the run," the Lower Austria State Police Directorate announced in a statement. Three new search photos, taken from video recordings from the prison, were released on Wednesday.

Information on the whereabouts of the 29-year-old, which can also be treated confidentially upon request, is again being requested by the Lower Austria State Criminal Police Office (Tel.: 059133-30-3333). According to media reports, the wanted man is believed to be the leader of the "Rammbock" gang, which was convicted in 2024 for jewelry burglaries in the Shopping City Süd (SCS) in Vösendorf (Mödling district), in the Vienna Donauzentrum, and in Wiener Neustadt.

Prisoner Escaped Over Roof in Wiener Neustadt Prison

The Dutchman escaped on February 10 shortly before 8:00 a.m. from the closed area of the Wiener Neustadt prison. The escape was made over the roof. According to the Ministry of Justice, the 29-year-old had "manipulated cell inventory" with him. He gained access to the roof "through massive force against structural security facilities."

The criminal group, which is said to have committed burglaries and an ATM explosion in Markgrafneusiedl (Gänserndorf district) in 2023, is believed to be active internationally. Last October, three Dutchmen received non-final prison sentences ranging from 20 months to nine years at the Wiener Neustadt Regional Court. A Bulgarian, who allegedly acted mostly as an accomplice, was sentenced to 30 months, 20 of which were suspended, not yet final.
