Willful destruction at vacant school
According to current police findings, the unknown perpetrators gained access to the enclosed construction site between Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. The affected school building is currently vacant and is being renovated for future use. The vandals took advantage of these circumstances to penetrate the area unnoticed.
Unusual tools: Concrete mixer thrown through window
The extent of the destruction shows a significant destructive rage: The perpetrators damaged several window panes of the school building. They proceeded extremely brutally, using, among other things, a concrete mixer located on the construction site, which they threw through one of the windows. In addition, the vandals apparently climbed onto the roof of the building and threw various construction site utensils down from there. Property damage is initially estimated by the police at around 500 Euro.
Officers from the Landespolizeiinspektion Jena have launched investigations into property damage and trespassing. Such incidents regularly end up in the Jena Blaulicht report, as construction sites in the city area are unfortunately repeatedly the focus of vandalism.
