Cars in Germany's Town Found Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Local Police
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then found many other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state early analysis indicate the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; authorities are not yet aware of any physical harm in relation with the event," they added.
City officials stated they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the community for tips.
A high-ranking political figure commented the vandalism left him without words and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing attack in 2020," he posted on online, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on individuals of migrant background in 2020.
