“Investigations into the owner are ongoing,” said police spokesman Raimund Schwaigerlehner on Monday when asked. The spider was caught and housed in a species-appropriate manner, as “Today” also reported online. According to the free newspaper, the finder was an animal welfare employee. She caught the spider with her brother.
During the course of Monday, the suspected owner of the spider was investigated, Schwaigerlehner said. However, the woman denied that the animal belonged to her, as also reported by ORF Lower Austria. Other surveys were in progress. The veterinary department of the Tulln district authority should decide on the next steps.
