A district officer from Bolesławiec identified and detained a man suspected of setting fire to a bin as part of an investigation. The incident occurred three months ago in the city. The detainee is a 22-year-old resident of Lwówek County.
The 22-year-old was charged and pleaded guilty. He explained that he had been drunk and, for fun, threw a lit cigarette into the bin. Miejski Zakład Gospodarki Komunalnej assessed the losses at more than PLN 7,500.
The young vandal now faces up to 5 years in prison.
