Top Austria cop car stolen

Austria’s top police officer is fuming after thieves made off with her official car - parked right outside her house.

Andrea Raninger, head of the country’s Federal Criminal Police, had to report the £24,000 Toyota RAV4 stolen to her own officers. She had been set to leave her home in Vienna for work when she discovered it was missing.

A police source said: “It is one of the most embarrassing incidents that could happen to the police force. Either someone targeted her especially because she is a top cop or it was just a random car theft.

“In either case it’s one of the worst bits of PR the force can possibly have. They can’t even protect themselves from thieves, let alone the general public.”
