Cars in Germany's City Found Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Area Police
Around 50 automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then located many other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say early analysis indicate the substance was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; authorities are currently not cognizant of any harm in association with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to solve the case" and have appealed to the community for details.
A senior official commented the vandalism made him speechless and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a shooter targeting individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
