Cars in German City Found Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then found multiple other smeared vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report initial examinations suggest the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; officials are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the event," they commented.
City officials said they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A senior official said the attack made him without words and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on online, mentioning the death of nine people by a shooter focusing on people of foreign heritage in 2020.
