Police apprehended individuals accused of damaging property adorned with symbols deemed unconstitutional

In the heart of Dortmund, Germany, a series of troubling incidents involving right-wing extremist graffiti have come to light. The latest development in these cases saw a 20-year-old woman from Hamm being arrested.

According to reports, the woman is known to the police in Dortmund as a right-wing extremist. The arrest took place in the area of Amiens Square, following a vigilant tip-off from citizens and the operator of a nearby catering establishment. At the time of her arrest, the woman had a spray can with black paint, the same colour used in the graffiti found in both cases.

One of the incidents occurred at the "Green Youth Dortmund" office in Münsterstraße, where graffiti with right-wing extremist content was discovered. In another instance, two masked individuals placed a seditious symbol on the entrance door of a catering establishment in Brückstraße.

The special conditions for remand were not met for the arrested suspect. As a result, she was taken to the Mitte police station for further questioning. Soko Rechts, the special task force for investigating the use of symbols of unconstitutional organizations under § 86a StGB, has taken over the investigations in this case. Additionally, Soko Rechts is also handling investigations for criminal damage under § 303 StGB.

Descriptions of both a male and a female suspect were provided to the police following these incidents. However, there is no information available about a female suspect being arrested in connection with these specific graffiti incidents in Brückstraße and Münsterstraße, Dortmund. The search results focus on unrelated topics, such as arrests of Syrians in a people-smuggling case and various graffiti art content.

Authorities are urging anyone with information about these incidents or the suspects to come forward. The police are hoping that the public's cooperation will help in bringing those responsible to justice and ensuring the safety and unity of the community.
