Unknown perpetrator devastated Aschbach: 59 trees brutally damaged!

In a shocking incident in Aschbach-Markt, Amstetten district, a total of 59 newly planted Allen trees were carefully sawn by an unknown perpetrator between the 13th and 15th of December 2024. The trees that stand along the bike path under construction were injured with a chainsaw, presumably an electrical one. The municipality has left this bad act with an estimated damage of around 40,000 euros, such as "https://www.vienna.at/alleebaumein-in-no-polpoli-bittet-um-notes/9117445"> vienna.at reported href = "https://www.5min.at/52024170900/kettensaegen-vandale-unterwegs-59-alleeumeume-angeschnitten/"> 5min.at confirmed .

The perpetrator seemed to have paid particular attention to covering up his criminal machinations. After the investigation, he cut the trees just above the floor and then covered the interfaces with bark mulch, so that the damage did not immediately notice. This insidious method indicates that the perpetrator may already have experience in dealing with chainsaws, as the State Police Directorate of Lower Austria stated. The OED police inspection asks for relevant information on the incident on 059133-3109.

This targeted vandalism not only shocked the citizens and the community, but also raises questions about the security and protection of public green areas. The criminal energy behind this act could indicate a deeper problem that should be urgently examined.
