Leipzig (dpa / sn) - Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer visited the police station in Leipzig-Connewitz on Tuesday evening, which is repeatedly the target of stone throwing and color attacks.

The CDU politician presented the officials with a Moravian star.

He wanted to thank the Saxon police, who had a tough year in Leipzig and elsewhere, said the head of government.

He hope for a quiet New Year's Eve.

The police station in the district that is considered to be an alternative to the left is repeatedly attacked.

It was not until the end of November that stones flew against the window panes again.

The extremism specialists of "Soko LinX" took over the investigation.

Leipzig's police chief Torsten Schultze said that eight suspects had been identified in connection with all of the attacks. The police station is currently being specially secured. However, "normal life" must be that a police station does not need to be protected.
