Police hunt neo-Nazis over cemetery vandalism

By Lisa Chapman

Police are hunting neo-Nazis who daubed graves and cemetery walls with swastikas and Nazi slogans in Peggau in Styria’s Graz-Umgebung district.

They said the vandals drew a swastika on an advertising panel and sprayed graffiti with the words "Hitler is back" and "Just a Nazi" on the cemetery’s wall, two power distribution devices and a car parked nearby last Friday night.

Officers said they so far had no leads on the identities of the vandals.
