Austria: thieves buy tickets and steal million-euro necklace from Vienna museum

Euronews Portugal28 August 2026 at 18:53

Two men stole a necklace valued at millions of euros from a museum in Vienna, Austria. Police revealed that the robbers did not wear masks, bought tickets to enter the museum and were clearly captured by surveillance cameras during the heist, which occurred on Thursday.

Authorities reported that the two individuals appeared clearly in the security camera footage, which could facilitate the identification and eventual arrest of the suspects.

The case draws attention due to the thieves' lack of care in hiding their faces, as they were filmed throughout the entire action. Police continue to investigate to locate and arrest those responsible for the theft of the valuable necklace.
