Principal Markus Hansbauer describes how three perpetrators shamelessly broke down several doors at his secondary school in Riedau (Upper Austria) and stole savings intended for excursions, among other things. It was just the latest incident in a whole series of break-ins at schools that are currently keeping investigators busy.

Everything points to the fact that it is a criminal gang that is currently up to mischief in Upper Austria's schools and kindergartens. The most recent example: the secondary school in Riedau.
