Automobiles in Germany's City Found Smeared with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Local Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers report they were notified late on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then found numerous other marked automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report initial examinations show the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; authorities are not yet informed of any injuries in association with the event," they commented.
City officials stated they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for information.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack rendered him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on online, recalling the killing of nine people by a shooter focusing on people of migrant background in February 2020.
