Automobiles in Germany's City Found Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Report
Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Officers report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police state initial examinations show the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; authorities are currently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the public for tips.
A senior representative said the vandalism made him speechless and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
