They're back - and the joy is limited: We're talking about dusk burglars, who are up to mischief again just in time for the time change on October 26. In the past three weeks, 20 burglaries have already been recorded in Upper Austria. The "Krone" knows in which districts they are increasingly striking.

"However, we are still eight to ten percent below the long-term average for such burglaries at dusk", says Chief Inspector Christian Schmidseder, Head of the Burglary Department at the Upper Austrian Criminal Police Office: "This is classic burglary crime. Unfortunately, we still have very few clues at the moment."
