Hof (dpa / lby) - The police broke up a celebration of young people in Hof, which was broadcast on Instagram via livestream.

The patrol found five young people between the ages of 15 and 17 celebrating with alcohol and cigarettes, the police said on Thursday.

The owner of the apartment was not at home at the time.

A viewer of the live broadcast had previously notified the police, it said.

The officers also found a warning beacon in the kitchen, which is used to secure construction sites.

As it turned out, a 17-year-old had stolen it in December in the city and brought it to the apartment.

Because the young people did not adhere to the currently applicable contact restrictions in the Corona crisis, there were reports of violations of the Infection Protection Act.

There was also a charge of theft.
