There was probably a bit of bravado involved - or was the sign meant to be a souvenir on its way home with two young German women? Unfortunately, the whole thing backfired.

Between 9.30 and 10 p.m. on Tuesday, unknown perpetrators stole a traffic sign in Brixen im Thale with the words "Caution, roof avalanche". After extensive investigations by Westendorf police, two German female tourists aged 20 and 23 were identified as suspects.

The sign was seized from the young women. Charges at large will follow.
