The repeated graffiti in Neu-Anspach, which occurred between October 9th and 10th, is particularly alarming. In the early hours of Friday, swastikas and xenophobic slogans were found along Theodor-Heuss-Straße, Heinrich-Böll-Weg and Wiesenau Street. The perpetrators had used a colored pencil and apparently focused on a sign, a fence and the back of two billboards. The police state security has now started investigations and is examining possible connections with similar incidents in recent months. Information about these acts can be reported to the Usingen police station by calling (06081) 9208-0. This is a big issue for the residents there, as such acts not only put a strain on property, but also on social interaction.
