Trees in Lower Austria Sawn Down: 40,000 Euro Damage

Due to the width of the cuts, it is assumed that the perpetrator used a chainsaw, probably an electric one. This results in damage of about 40,000 euros for the municipality of Aschbach. It is reported that the unknown perpetrator made his cuts just above the ground and then covered the cuts with the bark mulch present there, which means the damage is not noticed. The Oed police station is asking for relevant information, which can be handled confidentially upon request, at the telephone number 059133-3109.
