Cars in German Town Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Police say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Police then discovered multiple other smeared vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; authorities are not yet cognizant of any injuries in relation with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were working "to unravel the case" and have asked to the residents for information.
An important political figure said the incident left him stunned and required to be solved promptly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on online, recalling the killing of nine victims by a gunman focusing on people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
