In the district of Bruck an der Leitha, 21 parked vehicles were damaged by pumpkins in recent days. The police are searching for the perpetrator.

Rear and windshields were partially destroyed by the pumpkins in the district of Bruck a. d. Leitha, and there was also damage to the bodies, reported the Lower Austria State Police Directorate on Monday. The fruits were presumably stolen and apparently thrown from a moving vehicle.

Police request information after cars damaged with pumpkins

According to the police, the vandalism occurred since Monday of last week and until Saturday, each time between the evening and early morning hours. The crime scenes were named as Arbesthal, Scharndorf, Maria Ellend, Margareten am Moos, Wilfleinsdorf, and the district town of Bruck an der Leitha itself. In one case, a house facade was also targeted. It can be assumed that the pumpkins were stolen from an unknown location due to the quantity and because they were "also marked with price stickers," the police further stated. The total amount of damage caused is not yet known. According to investigations, it is likely to be a mid-five-figure euro amount. Useful information in the case and for identifying the perpetrators is requested to be reported to the Bruck an der Leitha police station at Tel.: 059133-3320.
