The incident involved three Russian women aged 25, 26 and 34, Ramona Mock from Bern cantonal police told the Swiss News Agency Keystone-SDA. She did not confirm that they were members of Pussy Riot. For reasons of data protection, the police did not give any further details.
Mock explained how the police went to Wabern, a municipality of Bern, on Monday evening because of a report that several people were spraying graffiti. Three women carrying spray cans were stopped and taken to the police station for further investigation. They were released after questioning, Mock said.
