Young people set off stolen fireworks in Vienna-Meidling

In a surprising turn of events, an incident occurred in Vienna-Meidling that alerted local authorities. A 13-year-old boy was found by police on the roof of a residential building in the evening while he and another boy were setting off fireworks that apparently came from a burglary.

A few hours earlier, the teenager had already come into contact with the police. He and his companion said they broke into a fireworks store with a third accomplice early in the morning. The two boys confessed that they had stolen the fireworks. There are reports that the fire brigade and police are closely monitoring the situation surrounding the illegal fireworks and the associated dangers in order to prevent a possible escalation.

The background to the incident

The break-in to the store and the subsequent setting off of the fireworks raise several questions. It remains unclear what motivated the boys to commit such a crime and then set off fireworks on a roof. Such actions are not only dangerous for the perpetrators themselves, but also for local residents and could cause serious property damage.

The police have now started an investigation to find out more about the background to the break-in and the young people's motive. The two 13-year-olds must now face the consequences of their actions as the investigation continues. Details about possible legal action or the exact circumstances of the break-in are currently sparse and will be released by police as they become available.

The incident in Vienna-Meidling is not only an isolated case, but also sheds light on the problem of youth crime in the region. The local community is watching developments with great interest. Further information and the latest developments are available in an article by www.heute.at.
