On Sunday, September 20, 2026, around 8 PM, the alarm was triggered in a jewelry store in the Favoriten district of Vienna. Numerous police officers then proceeded to the store.

From the outside, neither damage nor other signs of a break-in were initially visible. During the inspection of the adjacent neighboring building, the officers eventually discovered a forced open basement door.

In the basement, the police discovered a hole in a wall. Through this opening, the as yet unknown perpetrators are believed to have gained access to the adjacent jewelry store.

The task force searched the store but could no longer find any individuals there. An immediate search initiated in the nearby area also remained unsuccessful.

According to the owner, only watches were stolen. The extent of the damage is not specified in the press release from the Vienna State Police Directorate.

The Vienna State Criminal Office has taken over further investigations.

People who can provide relevant information are asked to contact the Vienna State Criminal Office at 01–31310–33800. According to the police, information can also be given anonymously.
