A 14-year-old teenager has been identified as the suspected perpetrator of several bomb threats against a school in the Vöcklabruck district. The teenager has confessed to the acts. According to police information on Thursday, he has been reported and will likely have to cover the operational costs.

Investigators assume that the student sent threatening emails to the school administration on May 28, June 2, and June 4, each early in the morning. After the third message, he apparently became impatient and wrote another email in the morning, in which he reiterated his threat. The school was then evacuated.

In a similar case, a 15-year-old must answer for dangerous threats before the Linz Regional Court on Friday. He is accused of sending bomb threats via email to three schools - in Linz and Traun in Upper Austria as well as St. Veit an der Glan in Carinthia - on May 7. He faces up to one and a half years in prison. He has also confessed. He cited "stress at school" as his motive.
