Cars in Germany's City Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police Confirm
Local Police
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers report they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then located numerous other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests suggest the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; officials are presently not informed of any injuries in relation with the event," they added.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A senior representative stated the vandalism left him speechless and had to be addressed quickly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a shooter focusing on people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
