Another bank robbery in Innsbruck! A savings bank branch in the Reichenau district was robbed by an armed stranger early on Friday morning. A search was immediately launched - the police helicopter also circled over the city - but was unsuccessful.

The low-flying Libelle police helicopter caused quite a stir on Friday morning, particularly in the east of the city, and initially also caused some puzzlement. Shortly afterwards, the police confirmed to the "Krone" newspaper that a bank had been robbed in Reichenau.

Perpetrators masked and armed
Specifically, it was the Sparkasse branch in Reichenauer Straße in the area of St. Paul's Church. At around 8.10 a.m., the masked perpetrator, armed with a silver pistol, marched into the bank and demanded cash in English.

An employee complied with the demand, took the requested cash from the till and handed it over to the perpetrator. "He then left the bank with the money and fled on a black e-scooter via Guthofweg and Radetzkystraße in a south-easterly direction," according to the Tyrolean Criminal Police Office.

A large-scale operation was launched. Both patrols on the ground and the police helicopter in the air searched for the perpetrator. "However, the alert search that was immediately launched was unsuccessful," the investigators continued.

Searches were also launched outside Innsbruck - both in the Oberland and the Unterland.

Memories of coups on Mitterweg
It was only at the beginning of July that a bank robbery took place in Innsbruck. The BTV branch on Mitterweg in the west of the city was affected. Two suspects (aged 24 and 32) were caught and arrested in the course of a manhunt.

The duo are also suspected of having robbed the same bank in April of this year.
