Fifteen-year-old boy set five fires out of boredom

A 15-year-old local teenager has been identified as responsible for setting five fires, including a major blaze at an agricultural building in Übersbach, which caused significant damage. The fires occurred between August and September, with the teenager admitting to starting all five during police questioning. No one was injured, but the damage amounted to hundreds of thousands of euros, including the destruction of several farming equipment units. Firefighters prevented the fire from spreading to nearby homes and forests. The boy was released on bail by the prosecutor’s office in Graz, and his parents are expected to face financial liability through insurance claims.
