The police checks on the access roads were also dissolved. The perpetrator chose the best time “The perpetrator did it cleverly. At this time we have half the frequency in Winklern,” explains Mayor Johann Thaler. Ten years ago, the robber would not have chosen the place. “There was a lot more activity and even more shops. Now at this time there are hardly any people on the road and the traffic is much less,” says the mayor. It also made it easy to escape.
