Cars in German City Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 cars have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found multiple other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report preliminary tests indicate the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; authorities are presently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the event," they commented.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have requested to the residents for details.
A high-ranking representative commented the attack left him speechless and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the killing of nine victims by a gunman targeting people of migrant background in 2020.
