Vehicles in German City Found Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement State
Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then located many other smeared cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials report initial examinations suggest the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; officials are presently not informed of any injuries in connection with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities said they were working "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the community for details.
A high-ranking representative commented the attack made him speechless and needed to be solved quickly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a assailant focusing on people of migrant background in 2020.
