Automobiles in German City Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers report they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then found multiple other smeared vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report initial examinations indicate the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to its source; investigators are presently not informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the community for tips.
An important political figure stated the vandalism left him without words and had to be addressed quickly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the murder of nine victims by a shooter aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
