Vehicles in Germany's Town Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Confirm
Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then found many other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report initial examinations indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; investigators are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to solve the case" and have asked to the community for information.
An important political figure commented the vandalism rendered him speechless and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he wrote on social media, mentioning the murder of nine people by a assailant focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
