A series of burglaries took place on Saturday night at the popular Benedictine market in Klagenfurt. “Eight restaurants were affected. A total of 700 euros in cash were stolen,” says Fabian Jörg from the police. Silver and copper coins are gone too.
Thousands of customers were shopping at the market on Saturday, the night before eight restaurants had been broken into. A total of 700 euros was stolen. All the silver and copper coins that innkeeper Christian Pontasch had kept in the restaurant were missing from the “Wörtherseefischer”: “The material value is not great, the ideal value is.” In the “Teatro” market, a tip of 100 euros was missing, which was unlocked next to the cash register stood. In all the bars, strangers had broken open the front doors. Pontasch: “At night it is a loveless, dark alley with no light. The market is a special place in Klagenfurt. That’s why you have to prepare it specially. That will not be done. We have to fight for everything if we want improvements.” Further burglaries Unknown perpetrators smashed the glass of a pharmacy in Klagenfurt with a stone. They took change from the shop. But that wasn’t the only burglary that had happened in the last 24 hours. Thieves also broke into a car workshop in the state capital, broke open a safe and stole several thousand euros from it.
