Automobiles in Germany's Town Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Police say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then located numerous other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police say early analysis suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; authorities are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have requested to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack made him speechless and had to be solved promptly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist attack in 2020," he wrote on online, recalling the killing of nine people by a assailant aiming at individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
