Cars in Germany's City Found Smeared with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then found multiple other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests indicate the fluid was likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; authorities are currently not aware of any injuries in relation with the event," they stated.
City officials announced they were working "to unravel the case" and have asked to the community for information.
A high-ranking official commented the incident made him without words and had to be resolved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the killing of nine victims by a shooter aiming at residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
