According to the Salzburg police, a brazen theft took place on Monday on the western railway line. Previously unknown perpetrators stole a backpack from a sleeping Thai passenger on the train. Inside was money and expensive camera equipment. He sustained damage in the five-figure range.
The 42-year-old said he was robbed while traveling on the Railjet Express from Vienna to Salzburg. According to the police, the Thai was in the compartment with three companions. All four were asleep when previously unknown perpetrators snuck in. When the man woke up, his backpack was no longer with him. In addition to cash, the passenger had kept high-quality parts of camera equipment in it. The amount of damage is in the low five-digit range. The police are now investigating how the crime happened.
