18 churches pelted with eggs during the night
The Lindenberg police department has solved a series of acts of vandalism that have kept the communities in the West Allgäu region on tenterhooks over the past few months. A total of 18 church doors and church façades were pelted with eggs by unknown persons during this period. The eggs were often painted black or labelled with red letters and numbers.
In March, a breakthrough in the investigation occurred. A suspect was stopped by a patrol car in Heimenkirch, near one of the targeted churches, on the night of Sunday, March 3, 2024. The church had recently been targed with an egg-throwing attack. The suspect claimed personal circumstances as her motive and now expresses remorse.
