Automobiles in German Town Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers say they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then discovered multiple other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police state preliminary tests show the substance was probably human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; investigators are currently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials stated they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for information.
A senior political figure stated the attack rendered him speechless and had to be solved quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, recalling the murder of nine people by a gunman focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
