Unknown persons stole a rainbow flag at Neubrandenburg train station on Saturday night and hoisted a forbidden swastika flag. After a passerby pointed this out, the police secured the flag with the Nazi symbol, a police spokeswoman said. State security is investigating suspected use of license plates belonging to unconstitutional organizations.
Three flags usually hang at Neubrandenburg train station, including a state flag for Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and the rainbow flag as a sign of diversity. However, the latter has been stolen and replaced several times in the past.
