Armed tankstelle robber arrested in Lustenau after two-day spree
A 43-year-old suspect was taken into custody on 3 November 2026 after the August 2024 robbery footage led to tips.
Police in Lustenau have arrested a suspected robber over armed raids on a tankstelle in 2024.
The 43-year-old is accused of robbing the same tankstelle on two consecutive days. Video footage from the armed robbery on 22 August 2024 showed the suspect briefly without a mask as he left the area outside the building.
After the video clip was published, tips from the public came in. The LKA Vorarlberg followed up on the information, which ultimately led to identifying a man as a “dringend tatverdächtigen” suspect.
He was arrested in Lustenau on 3 November 2026 and was taken to the Justizanstalt Feldkirch. The suspect, an Austrian national, denied the allegations. Police did not state any confession or further case details in the report.
The investigation is ongoing following the arrest.
