The police department is currently on the lookout for a group of individuals who have been identified as neo-Nazis. These individuals were involved in a recent incident where they were seen chanting and displaying an offensive sign on the steps of Victoria's Parliament House. Witnesses reported that there were about twenty men present, all dressed in black from head to toe. The incident occurred at approximately 6:55pm yesterday outside the Spring Street building.
Video footage of the incident was posted online, showing the group of men chanting phrases such as "Freedom for the white man" and "White man, white man, white man." It was a disturbing scene to witness, and members of the public were understandably outraged. The police were quick to respond and approached the group, who then proceeded to take down their sign and leave the area.
Acting Superintendent Kelly Walker of the Victoria Police addressed the media in a press conference today, stating that it appeared the men were conducting some sort of photoshoot at the time of the incident. She mentioned that they even had their own photographer present. According to Walker, witnesses at the scene were shouting at the men to take down their offensive sign, as it was causing unrest in the community.
Walker further explained that the protective services officers had called for backup, and when the police arrived at the scene, the men scattered into the nearby Fitzroy Gardens. Despite searching the area, the men were not found. However, one man has been identified, and the police are currently working to apprehend him. So far, no arrests have been made, but investigators are collecting evidence to identify the rest of the men involved.
Walker emphasized that the priority at the moment is to identify the men and bring them to justice. The police will be reviewing the extensive network of CCTV footage in the CBD and seeking advice under the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act. She condemned the behavior of the men as disgusting and acknowledged the public's outrage over the incident.
The police are urging anyone with information regarding the incident to come forward and contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. They are also appealing to the members of the public who witnessed the incident to come forward and provide any information that may be helpful in the investigation.
