Automobiles in German City Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Area Police
Around fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Police state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found numerous other smeared cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials report early analysis show the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; authorities are not yet aware of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials announced they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the community for details.
An important representative stated the vandalism made him without words and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a shooter aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
