In Eferding, two teenagers aged 15 and 16 stole a car on Tuesday night and drove around with it. In the afternoon, they were noticed by a police patrol in the neighboring Alkoven.

When the teenagers realized that the police were following them, they caused an accident and tried to run away. The officers fired warning shots - whereupon the boys surrendered and allowed themselves to be arrested, the authorities reported on Friday.

Teenagers Were Missing from Facility

The car belonged to a 32-year-old who had parked it - unlocked and without license plates - in a parking lot in front of a multi-family house. On Wednesday morning, he discovered that the car was missing and reported it as stolen. When a patrol saw it in Alkoven and followed it, the driver tried to escape. However, the car went off the road, crashed into two newly planted trees, and ended up in a field. After their arrest, the teenagers were handed over to a caregiver. They had already been searched for, as they were missing from a facility. The two will be reported to the public prosecutor's office in Wels.
