Automobiles in German City Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered numerous other smeared cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state preliminary tests suggest the fluid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its source; investigators are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to unravel the case" and have requested to the community for information.
An important political figure stated the vandalism rendered him speechless and required to be addressed quickly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he wrote on a platform, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on residents of migrant background in five years prior.
