The incident occurred around 11 a.m. on "An der Falkschule" street. The initial assumption was that the stolen vehicle was a tractor, but it was later revealed to be a riding lawnmower.

A police helicopter was swiftly deployed for the search, and the juveniles were later located. Their identities were established, and a criminal proceeding for theft of a motor vehicle has been initiated against both individuals.
