"Burst into tears and started apologizing." A Vilnius resident told how he caught a 14-year-old teenager who was writing "Vilnius is ours"
The teenager spoke Lithuanian without an accent.
On Wednesday morning, police in the center of Vilnius detained a minor who had written "Vilnius is ours" in paint on the Vyalya embankment. It turned out that a passerby stopped the offender — he revealed more details about the incident to LRT.lt.
According to Paulius, he saw an unusual sight in the morning on his way to work.
"I saw a person squatting, doing something. I didn't pay much attention, but when I got closer, I noticed that the person in a hoodie, dressed in black, was photographing something," he said.
Then the interlocutor saw that the person was photographing an inscription in Cyrillic — Paulius had already heard about such inscriptions in Vilnius, knowing that, according to law enforcement agencies and special services, they are intended to sow discord in Lithuania, and their appearance is organized by Russian and Belarusian services.
Recently, graffiti in a similar style appeared in various symbolic places in Vilnius, for example, near the Government House on Kudirka Square and the Belarusian Gymnasium.
"I asked: what are you doing here?" He looked at me, realized he had been caught, and started to run away," Paulius recalled. He began to pursue the runaway.
When the boy reached Gediminas Avenue, Paulius started shouting, urging passersby to stop the boy. Eventually, the boy tripped, fell, and the man pinned him to the ground.
According to Paulius, the detained person began to say that he was only 14 years old, burst into tears and started apologizing.
"He said he didn't want to draw anything, that he did it because he was threatened, that if he didn't draw these words and photograph them, his house would be burned down," the interlocutor added.
According to him, the police who arrived said they knew this young man.
In addition, Paulius was impressed by the fact that the teenager spoke Lithuanian without an accent.
He himself emphasized that his motivation to detain the offender was his affiliation with the Riflemen's Union, where he prepared both physically and psychologically, and that he was aware of provocations related to Russia through the desecration of monuments in the Baltic countries. According to Paulius, he is glad that he managed to catch the culprit.
