Vehicles in Germany's City Found Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Police report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then found many other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests indicate the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; investigators are currently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the event," they commented.
Local authorities said they were trying "to resolve the case" and have requested to the residents for details.
A high-ranking official said the attack rendered him speechless and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the death of nine victims by a assailant focusing on people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
