Immigrant crime is on the rise in the Mueßer Holz district of Schwerin.
On Sunday evening, three Tunisians and several men from Eritrea started a fight. Witnesses also reported shots being fired. Shortly afterwards, according to the police, six to ten Africans stormed into a kebab shop and threw bottles at three Tunisians and Iraqis. Three immigrants ended up in hospital.
The police are now investigating for assault and breach of the peace. They want to increase their presence in the prefab neighbourhood.
Police spokesman Steffen Salow says: “We have been focusing on this area for a long time because there have been more physical altercations there. Now we will intensify our controls even more!
Due to the high vacancy rate, many immigrants have been accommodated in Mueßer Holz.
