Suspect in custody
Handcuffs clicked 4 weeks after bank robbery
Exactly four weeks after an armed bank robbery in Innsbruck's Reichenau district, the police were able to track down and arrest a suspect. He is said to be a 68-year-old local man. The "robber grandpa" fled the scene on an e-scooter.
The bank robbery at the Sparkasse branch took place on July 26. Shortly after 8 a.m., a masked perpetrator armed with a silver pistol marched into the bank and demanded cash in English. After an employee handed over the money to the robber, he made off on an e-scooter.
A search was immediately launched - including a police helicopter circling over the entire city - but was unsuccessful.

On Friday, exactly four weeks after the robbery, the police announced the arrest of a suspect. According to investigators from the Provincial Criminal Police Office, the suspect is a 68-year-old local man.
