Vehicles in Germany's City Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Report
Local Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other smeared cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials state initial examinations show the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; officials are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the residents for information.
An important political figure commented the attack rendered him speechless and required to be solved promptly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on social media, referring to the murder of nine victims by a assailant targeting people of migrant background in 2020.
