Cars in German Town Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Area Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police state they were notified late on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they added.
Officers then discovered numerous other marked cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say initial examinations suggest the liquid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its source; authorities are presently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the event," they commented.
City officials announced they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the community for information.
A senior political figure stated the attack left him stunned and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the death of nine people by a assailant targeting individuals of migrant background in 2020.
