German police are probing an unlikely new symbol for neo-Nazi extremists - the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street.
The trend was first noticed when far-right activist Steffen Lange was arrested in March for walking into a school in the German state of Brandenburg, dressed in full cookie monster regalia, and handing out neo-Nazi pamphlets to children, along with an accomplice.
After teacher complaints, police came to arrest the men, who are in their thirties, and a search of their home computers revealed more Cookie Monster-themed leaflets and neo-Nazi material, according to Germany's Focus newspaper.
But police have warned the symbols are continuing to be used by the far-right in Brandenburg to recruit children.
Internet images show the cookie monster standing side-by-side with Adolf Hitler, with the caption "Who ate my cookie?"
