Prostitute involved in the Wals robbery?

It was not yet known if the assailant and the victim knew each other. Investigators were initially covered in details. According to ORF Radio Salzburg, two prostitutes had been ordered to enter the house shortly before and it was still unclear if there was a connection. Police did not confirm this at the moment. In the course of the search, a vehicle with four suspects was stopped in the Bavarian town of Piding. It is not known if these are the four alleged perpetrators.
