Two men have been arrested
on suspicion of “racially aggravated criminal damage” after windows at five
mosques in Britain’s second city Birmingham were smashed earlier this week,
police said Friday.
A thirty-four year-old man handed
himself into a police station and a 38-year-old was “detained by members of the
community,” West Midlands Police said in a statement.
“This is a significant step
forward in our enquiries. However, the investigation continues into the motive
for the incidents,” Assistant Chief Constable Matt Ward said.
“It remains incredibly
important that we unite together against those who seek to create discord, uncertainty
and fear,” he added.
Witnesses reported seeing a
man wielding a sledgehammer smashing in windows at two mosques overnight
Wednesday to Thursday and three other mosques in the city were found similarly
vandalised.
Some 22 percent of the
Birmingham population described themselves as Muslim in the 2011 census.
British national police
chiefs last week announced officers were providing “reassurance patrols” around
mosques in the immediate aftermath of a deadly gun rampage at two mosques in
Christchurch, New Zealand.
Anti-racism groups have
warned that Islamophobia is on the rise in Britain and spurring a spike in
far-right activity in the country.
