Vehicles in Germany's City Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Area Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Police report they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other smeared cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say initial examinations show the fluid was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; investigators are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials announced they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for details.
An important political figure commented the attack rendered him without words and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
