Vehicles in German Town Discovered Marked with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police Report
Area Police
Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found numerous other vandalized cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials state initial examinations show the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are not yet aware of any injuries in relation with the incident," they stated.
City officials stated they were working "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the residents for information.
A senior representative commented the attack left him stunned and needed to be solved promptly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he stated on online, referring to the death of nine people by a gunman targeting residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
