Just last week, unknown persons carried out an arson attack on a planned refugee home in Bautzen, Saxony – a fire then broke out inside the building. Now strangers are throwing Pyro out of a moving car at an accommodation in Neukieritzsch.
Unknown persons apparently threw pyrotechnics out of a moving car in the direction of a community accommodation for refugees in Neukieritzsch, Saxony. According to current knowledge, no one was injured, the police in Leipzig said.
There was no damage to the building, police said. The remains of the pyrotechnics were confiscated on the premises of the accommodation and on the sidewalk in front of it. The police counter-terrorism and anti-extremism center in the State Criminal Police Office took over the investigation.
Only on Friday was an arson attack on a planned refugee accommodation in Bautzen, Saxony. Unknown persons had smashed several window panes there in the past week. A fire broke out inside the building and was extinguished by firefighters. Four employees of the accommodation, who were in the house at the time of the crime, were not injured. According to the Bautzen district, the first 30 refugees, exclusively families, were to move into the building on November 3rd. The amount of damage was initially unclear.
The police counter-terrorism and extremism center in the LKA took over the investigations in this case as well. Saxony’s interior minister, Armin Schuster, condemned the crime. “Setting houses on fire out of hatred because you don’t want refugees near you is deeply primitive and inhuman,” explained Schuster. He assumes a xenophobic attack.
At the end of August, an arson attack was carried out on a refugee accommodation in Leipzig, and a little later on a day care center where Ukrainian children are cared for. In mid-October, a refugee shelter was set on fire in Groß Strömkendorf near Wismar in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. In all three cases no one was injured.
