Automobiles in German Town Found Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then discovered multiple other vandalized cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report early analysis show the substance was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; officials are currently not informed of any harm in association with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to solve the incident" and have asked to the community for details.
An important representative stated the incident rendered him stunned and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, recalling the murder of nine people by a shooter aiming at residents of migrant background in February 2020.
