Three German teenagers are facing fraud charges after trying to spend 130m euros ($160m; £91m) of someone else's money on an internet shopping spree.

The three told police in the central German town of Weilburg that they had started the scam simply because they were bored.

Using a school computer, they hacked into an online auction user's account.
