Post office robbery search leads police to four suspected burglars

A police search triggered by a robbery at a post office partner outlet in Neufeld/Leitha led officers to arrest four suspected burglars in Ebreichsdorf, ORF reported.

The robbery was reported shortly after 8 a.m. on Tuesday, prompting a large police operation that extended to Ebreichsdorf, in the district of Baden. At about 9:30 a.m., a resident called police to report a burglary in progress at a detached house.

The four men had fled on foot when the resident arrived home, police said. During the cross-state search, officers noticed a silver car with Polish registration plates and later arrested the suspects. Police said the four are Moldovan nationals and were due to be questioned on Tuesday.

The resident was not injured. Police forensic investigators collected evidence at the house.
