Young people blow up cigarette machines: police strike!

In the night of Saturday, December 14th, the residents of Lavantgasse in Floridsdorf were frightened by a loud bang when three young people aged a cigarette machine with fireworks. Witnesses reported on the incident that caused considerable damage to property on the machine, which led to the police being alerted. On their arrival, the officials found several cigarette rods under a parked car that apparently came from the suspects, such as vienna.at reported.

The called up police officers were able to quickly find the alleged perpetrators and hand them over to their legal guardians. Advertisements were reimbursed to the Vienna public prosecutor's office for suspected burglary theft, since the campaign not only caused damage to property, but also represents the illegal use of pyrotechnics, which is repeatedly recorded in Vienna. The police point out that such crimes often occur due to the abusive use of fireworks and that this does not remain without consequences, as in the report of meinzirk.at is mentioned.

The police had already found numerous cases in the months before the holidays of illegal pyrotechnics that are related to vandalism. The cigarette blast in Floridsdorf is therefore not an isolated case, but part of a worrying trend that raises both legal and safety -related questions. The investigation continues to clarify the extent to which the young people were supported in their act or whether there are other participants.
