Crime - Man breaks open ice cream vending machine and distributes it to children
In Laudenbach (Rhein-Neckar-Kreis), a young man broke into an ice vending machine, served himself and distributed the cold sweetness to passing schoolchildren. The peculiar action of the 21-year-old was ended by the police. A passerby reported the incident early on a Thursday morning before school started.
The police found in the man's pockets tools for breaking and entry and numerous packages of ice cream. Since the man was under the influence of drugs, the police suspect this as the background of the action.
The 21-year-old caused damage to the vending machine amounting to approximately 5,000 Euros, according to the police. He now has to reckon with a charge for grand larceny.
