In the night leading to Monday, a fire was set in a workshop in Regau, with a swastika sprayed next to the entrance gate. Investigations into the cause of the fire and any possible connection are ongoing.

An arsonist set fire to a workshop in Regau (Vöcklabruck district) in the night leading to Monday and apparently sprayed a swastika next to the entrance gate to the hall in a business park. The police have not yet confirmed a connection, but the tenant of the workshop stated that he had not noticed the Nazi symbol there before. He is Austrian with Syrian roots.

60 Firefighters Deployed

Arson is suspected because the fire broke out in several places, the police reported. A winter service driver noticed the flames at around 3:00 a.m. and raised the alarm. 60 personnel from two fire departments quickly extinguished the fire. The police are investigating.
