Police in Vienna were called to a hotel robbery in Penzing in the early hours. At around 05:00 on 15.10.2026, the hotel’s 20-year-old doorman told police two unknown youths suddenly pushed behind the reception desk. He said they threatened him repeatedly, shoved him, and demanded that he open the cash register. When the doorman hesitated, the youths allegedly broke open the till and took the cash as well as a mobile phone. They then fled in an unknown direction with the stolen items. The doorman was not injured and declined treatment from a rescue service. The State Criminal Police Office in Vienna took over the investigation.
