Unknown shoots car in Leibnitz - police investigated!

In a shocking attack, a car in Leibnitz was shot at with a stone sling on Tuesday evening. Around 9:30 p.m., the 35-year-old driver heard a loud bang that drew her attention to the incident. A steel ball that had a diameter of five to seven millimeters had hit the vehicle's rear window, it broke and the ball got stuck in it. Fortunately, the woman was not injured, but immediately alerted the police after noticing the damage. The incident occurred in the city of Leibnitz, where the police immediately blocked the surrounding area and initiated a search.

At first glance, the perpetrator seemed unobtrusive. Despite intensive investigations by the police, the search has so far been unsuccessful. According to initial findings, it is assumed that the steel ball was shot down with a stone slingshot. This raises questions about security in the region, especially in view of the fact that such incidents are not common. The police emphasize the importance of testimony and calls on the population to work if they notice something.

The role of the police and the public

Information about crime, security and current incidents are provided by platforms such as policekicker.at which is an independent online portal for police reports. This platform not only offers information about crime and accidents, but also witness searches and the latest reports from all federal states in Austria. Especially such incidents such as bombing a vehicle underline the important role of the public in working with the police.

The criminal police situation in Austria is also shown by the police crime statistics (PKS), which informs annually about the development of crimes. These statistics, which are also published on the website of the Federal Criminal Police Office , support strategic planning to combat crime.

Although the current incident in Leibnitz is still unclear, citizens can help increase security in their communities through their attention and help. It remains to be hoped that the investigation will soon lead to a conclusion and that such reports of horror will be a thing of the past in the future.
