Surprise egg with drugs: 40-year-old shocked 13-year-olds in Tyrol!

In the Kufstein district, Tyrol, a 40-year-old Austrian was reported after he had given a surprise egg at a 13-year-old girl at a bus stop that contained cannabis. The incident occurred on September 11, 2025 when the girl met the man at the bus stop in Rattenberg. In addition to the cannabis, the content of the surprise ice cream also included the man's phone number.

The girl's father finally became aware of the drugs and addictive tools that were found in his daughter's room on September 17, 2025. This threatening incident caused him to inform the police what started the investigation against the 40-year-old man.

Investigations and drug finds

The measures of the police quickly fought the 40-year-old's suspicion. During a search of his residence, the officials discovered both cannabis and rearing utensils. The man was then reported to the public prosecutor. There are currently no evidence of other affected students, but the investigation is ongoing to gain a complete picture of the situation.

The incident throws light on the increasing problems with drug abuse among young people. According to the current [health report 2024] (https://www.gesundheit.gv.at/news/aktuelles/aktuell-2025/drogen report-2024.html), cannabis is still the most frequently consumed illegal drug in Austria. About a fifth of the 15- to 64-year-olds have already had experience with it. The alarming statistics show that the consumption of illegal drugs in society continues to be a serious topic.

Increasing problems with drug use

The increase in fatal overdoses, which is recorded in the third year in a row, is particularly worrying. 256 people died in 2023 due to overdoses, with the average age of the deceased 34 years. There are a quarter of these deaths on the younger age groups, especially those under the age of 25.

The overall social effects are reinforced by new forms of addiction, such as the use of nicotine products for young people. According to the report, it turns out that 3% of 15-year-olds consume nicotine bags every day, and it is even 5.1% for male adolescents. These new products have come into fashion as lifestyle articles, whose long-term consequences of health are still largely unexplored.

The police and authorities are required to take preventive measures and to counteract the increasing drug problem. The concern for the safety and health of the youth must be top priority in the coming months and years.
