Three Suspects Detained After Blowing Up Cigarette Vending Machines

At the crime scene in Floridsdorf, police discovered a trail of blood leading to three youths aged 16, 17, and 20, who were nearby. The 16-year-old had a head injury, which was treated on the spot by emergency services. When questioned, he claimed to have been "walking past the vending machine by chance when it exploded."
