Police strike: young people with weapons and pyrotechnics at the train station!

On Sunday afternoon, a decisive police operation took place at the Vienna-Floridsdorf train station, during which numerous young people were stopped with prohibited pyrotechnic objects and weapons. In total, the police confiscated 233 pyrotechnic items as well as three prohibited weapons during this key operation, including a stun gun disguised as a flashlight and a brass knuckles. Those arrested include a 13-year-old Afghan and two Austrians aged 15 and 16, who were reported for different reasons. The arrests were carried out in a lightning-fast check aimed at a group of young people who were importing dangerous objects into Austria from abroad, such as Today.at reported.

Significant legal consequences for young people

As part of this campaign, a total of 16 young people between the ages of 14 and 16 were reported. While the 13-year-old and the 15-year-old were held responsible for violations of the Pyrotechnics Act, the 16-year-old has to answer for violations of the Weapons Act and the discovery of a small amount of narcotic drug, presumably marijuana. These measures demonstrate the police's determination to combat the carrying and use of illegal items. The authorities expressly warn of the dangers posed by the unauthorized use of pyrotechnics and the carrying of prohibited weapons, which underlines the seriousness of the situation Kurier.at pointed out.
