Another mascot bites the dust, as Adland previously reported man dressed in a shark suit was fined by Austrian police in Vienna for breaking the new "anti face covering" law. Now this law seems to extend to non-human mascots as well, as Austrian police descended upon a toy store and fined them for their display of a large Lego Ninja reported by Krone.at
Mevlüt Kücükyasar who was eyewitness to the bizarre event tweeted out photos of Austrian police 'raiding' the toy store. "Police storm the Lego-Store in Vienna because of the violation" he says and eyewitnesses also stated that the atmosphere in the store was "heated." Police refused to leave the store until the life-sized Ninja toy mask was removed.

Police eventually ruled that the man in the suit did not violate the burka ban as he was partaking in an 'artistic professional practice'.
