The boys between the ages of 17 and 23 often played around with homemade firecrackers. In addition, they severely damaged a balcony with such an explosive device and also caused damage to a moped. The sextet is also responsible for the suppression of documents.
After extensive investigations, the perpetrators could now be found, the police said on Wednesday evening. The total amount of damage amounts to around 35,000 euros. The six young men cited boredom and group dynamics as the motive. They are repeatedly reported to the public prosecutor’s office in Wels.
