Eltmann (dpa / lby) – Three young people started a game night on a game console in a strange apartment in the Haßberge district. The three boys aged 16 and 17 broke into an apartment in Eltmann on Thursday evening, the police said on Friday. There they made themselves comfortable in front of the Playstation and began to gamble – “which is unusual for burglars,” said a police spokesman.
A neighbor alerted the police. “When the youngsters noticed that the game was getting serious and that the real police were approaching, they tried to flee,” the police said. The youths are now being investigated for burglary and possession of narcotics.
