House search in Salzburg: Grandson crouched in grandmother's wardrobe
During a house search in late August in Salzburg, officers discovered a 32-year-old man with previous convictions crouching in his grandmother's wardrobe. The man had registered his residence at her address—which is why police showed up there in the first place, as krone.at reported.
The peculiar hiding attempt ended quickly: the officers found the Salzburg man still in the wardrobe before he could escape.
Grandmother as victim of her own grandson
Particularly serious is the allegation levelled against his own grandmother. According to the criminal complaint, the 32-year-old is said to have taken the Salzburg woman's debit card and caused damage of approximately 5,300 euros using it between May and August 2026—over several months.
Break-in at football club premises
The Salzburg public prosecutor's office is charging him with a second alleged crime: burglary at the premises of a small Salzburg football club. During the break-in in May 2026, he is said to have stolen approximately 600 euros from the club's cash box as well as two electronic devices.
He must answer for both allegations before a judge at the Salzburg Regional Court on Wednesday next.
