Cars in Germany's Town Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then found multiple other marked vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say initial examinations suggest the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; authorities are currently not aware of any injuries in relation with the event," they commented.
City officials stated they were working "to solve the incident" and have asked to the public for tips.
A senior representative commented the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on social media, recalling the murder of nine victims by a shooter focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
