Violent raid on Klagenfurt multi-unit building

As reported by Kleine Zeitung, four individuals from the drug scene violently stormed an apartment in a multi-unit building in Klagenfurt on Saturday. The suspects – a 44-year-old, two 30-year-old men and a 29-year-old woman, all from Klagenfurt – kicked in the apartment door and entered to confront a 32-year-old woman and a 34-year-old man.

According to the police report, the two victims were "dangerously threatened and put in fear and distress". The attackers sprayed pepper spray in the apartment, injuring the apartment occupants to an unspecified degree. In addition, the suspects stole a small amount of cash.

The raid is said to have been preceded by a dispute within the drug scene, police said. As they were leaving the building, all four suspects were stopped by officers, arrested and taken to Klagenfurt police custody.

After questioning all parties involved was completed, the detainees were released from custody and reported to the public prosecutor's office.
