Vehicles in Germany's City Found Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Confirm
Area Police
Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Police report they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests show the substance was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; investigators are not yet aware of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were working "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the public for tips.
A senior political figure commented the vandalism left him without words and required to be solved promptly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
