Automobiles in Germany's City Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police Confirm
Area Police
Roughly 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Police say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then discovered numerous other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report initial examinations suggest the liquid was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; investigators are not yet aware of any injuries in connection with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking representative stated the incident rendered him speechless and required to be addressed promptly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the killing of nine people by a shooter aiming at residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
