Automobiles in Germany's City Discovered Marked with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police Confirm
Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 cars have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Officers report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then located multiple other marked cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests suggest the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; authorities are not yet cognizant of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities said they were trying "to solve the case" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking political figure commented the vandalism made him stunned and required to be solved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
