Bank robbery in Saalfelden on Friday
The perpetrator had entered the bank in downtown Saalfelden on Friday around 3 pm and placed a note on the bank employees’ counter with the word “attack.” The hooded man with a mask concealed his demand with a gun. Then he left the bank branch with the stolen four-digit euro money. When he left the financial institution, he said in dialect. “Stay calm and nothing will happen to you.”

The thief then fled on foot in an unknown direction. An immediate alarm hunt, which also spread to the neighboring state of Tirol and Bavaria, was unsuccessful. No one was injured in the attack. In support of the search, the executive released recordings of the suspect from the bank’s surveillance cameras and more details about the robbery on Saturday.
