Automobiles in Germany's Town Found Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Area Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then found numerous other smeared cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests show the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; investigators are not yet aware of any harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking official stated the vandalism made him speechless and required to be resolved promptly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on social media, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
