Police suspect petrol station worker of stealing tens of thousands

A 40-year-old petrol station employee is suspected of stealing cash from customer transactions over more than a year, ORF Kärnten reported. The alleged loss amounts to several tens of thousands of euros.

Police said the woman allegedly entered customer transactions into the till system between July 2025 and November 2026, collected the corresponding amounts in cash and then deleted the transactions. She is suspected of keeping the money.

The deleted transactions were not discovered until November 2026. No further information was initially available on possible investigations or legal consequences.
