A break-in at a Vienna-Liesing home ended with a 65-year-old resident being injured after two intruders stole a firearm. The incident happened on 15.10.2026 at about 18:15 in 1230 Vienna. The resident was alerted by his dog as two men forced their way into the single-family house. He retrieved a legally owned gun from a safe and confronted the intruders. The men overpowered him, seized the weapon and fled to an unknown direction. During the struggle, the resident suffered an injury to his left hand. Afraid the attackers would return, he went to the basement and called police from there. Police launched immediate search measures with police service dogs from Vienna and Lower Austria. The search was unsuccessful. The injured man received emergency medical treatment and was taken to hospital. The State Criminal Police Office in Vienna took over the investigation.
