Automobiles in Germany's City Found Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Confirm
Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Officers then located many other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests indicate the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; investigators are presently not aware of any injuries in connection with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the public for tips.
A high-ranking representative stated the vandalism rendered him without words and required to be resolved quickly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
