Caregiver in Villach: Family theft leads to deportation!
In a tragic incident in Villach, a 27-year-old Romanian nurse abused her employer's trust. She looked after the 44-year-old paraplegic daughter of the 74-year-old woman, whose reliability is now in serious question. The nurse illegally obtained the pensioner's front door key and used the opportunity to steal from her, reports meinkreis.at.
On Tuesday, October 15, 2025, the theft occurred near the patient's home. The nurse stole cash in the low four-digit range, several valuable coins and various perfumes. She apparently wanted to remain inconspicuous with the loot that she hid in her daughter's apartment. But the 74-year-old woman quickly noticed that something was wrong and immediately informed the police, who then began an investigation. The Landskron police station took over the intensive investigations, as well 5min.at clarifies.
Arrest and consequences
Thanks to the police's good investigation, the nurse was quickly identified as a suspect. The perfumes were seized during a search of the daughter's apartment, and a cash sniffing dog helped find most of the remaining stolen goods that the perpetrator was carrying. After the interview, the nurse was released, but the consequences of her behavior are now serious. The Federal Office for Immigration and Asylum imposed detention and a residence ban on her, so that she will soon be threatened with deportation.
This incident highlights the issues of trust and safety in the care industry. Especially in a country like Austria, where the aging society urgently needs reliable care, it is of utmost importance to take the right steps to prevent such offenses. It is hoped that this incident will not remain an isolated incident and that further measures will be taken to ensure the safety of seniors.
Disease and safety reports
In the meantime, the police remain in constant communication about criminal developments in Austria, such as Crime statistics from the Federal Criminal Police Office shows. This valuable information helps to take structured and strategic action against crime to ensure security and trust in our society. The case of the nurse from Villach could serve as an example to rigorously underline the need for careful vetting of nursing staff.
