Automobiles in German Town Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Area Police
Around 50 cars have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Police report they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Police then found multiple other smeared automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests show the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; authorities are not yet informed of any harm in association with the incident," they stated.
City officials stated they were working "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the public for details.
An important representative said the attack made him without words and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the death of nine victims by a gunman targeting residents of migrant background in 2020.
