Cars in German Town Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Police report they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then found numerous other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report early analysis indicate the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; authorities are not yet informed of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they added.
City officials announced they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the community for information.
A high-ranking representative said the vandalism left him stunned and required to be addressed promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the murder of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
