- Four arrests for graffiti smearing at AfD office
Four juveniles are suspected of vandalizing an AfD election office in Stuttgart with graffiti. The women, aged between 16 and 19, were dressed in black and masked when a police patrol discovered them in the early morning hours, a police spokesperson said.
They fled the scene and are believed to have hidden in a nearby park. Police are said to have deployed a police dog. A 17-year-old was bitten by the animal and sustained minor injuries. A 19-year-old also sustained minor injuries during her escape, the cause of which is unknown.
The suspects were initially taken into custody. During a search, police found spray cans, gloves, and balaclavas. The two injured individuals were then taken to hospitals. The other two were released at the scene.
The case will be handed over to The Commission for further investigation due to the political nature of the vandalism. The suspected juveniles might face charges for damage to property and resisting arrest.
